So, there may be some categories of certification that are acceptable without being a full-fledged ME.<BR/><BR/>Wilson is shooting the messenger again. What a tired hack. Regardless what you say, Wilson, I know that JC approved Ackles's slating. Another candidate was shoved aside as a result of that endorsement. Fact.<BR/><BR/>Who cares who Ackles's attorney is? Everyone's entitled to effective legal representation...even those for whom Wilson repeatedly schills...and they may need to get those attorneys on speed dial. I sense they'll need lawyers. Soon.<BR/><BR/>This ridiculous Center Township, kiss-the-ring, holier-than-thou, "my friends msut be your friends", guilt-by-association nonsense has to end.<BR/><BR/>Hope the Mayor is paying attention.

The position should still be accountable by the people and preside over inquests. Right now the Marion County coroner's office just wants someone who is an EMT-B and willing to work odd hours.<BR/><BR/>Also remember - the Coroner can arrest the Sheriff. That's one check in our "checks and balances".<BR/><BR/>Quincy was not the coroner. He worked for the coroner which was a political position.Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158152972784205722006-09-13T08:09:00.000-05:002006-09-13T08:09:00.000-05:00is Darla Y.
