- John Cronin (New Zealand)
John Cronin is a New Zealand politician. He is currently the chairperson of the Bay of Plenty's regional council, being one of four councillors elected by the city of Tauranga. Previously, he has sought election to Parliament — in the 1993 elections, he was the National Party's candidate to win the Tauranga seat back from former National MP Winston Peters, and in the 1996 elections, he led the small Superannuitants and Youth Action party. He was not successful in either attempt.
Cronin is a controversial figure, being one of the protagonists behind the proposed move of the regional council offices from their established base in Whakatane, to a green field site in congested Tauranga [http://www.dailypost.co.nz/localnews/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3749223&thesection=localnews&thesubsection=&thesecondsubsection=] , a moved expected to cost the rate-payers over NZ$23 Million.
