Spencer Cronk was removed from his position as Austin's city manager.AUSTIN — Austin’s city manager was fired Wednesday in the wake of outrage in the Texas capital to a winter storm power outage that left thousands of people without electricity for a week or longer.
Cronk, who had been in the job since 2018, was the city’s first executive to lose his job over the prolonged outages. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat who took office in January, put in motion meetings that plunged Cronk’s job into jeopardy. In Austin, the city manager is appointed by the mayor and city council, and operates like the chief executive officer of a business.
