Failed Burrito Baron Tony Sutton is the former chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota. He resigned in Dec 2011 as the party's financial woes came under increased public scrutiny. Some of us looked even earlier.
It appears that the other shoe will drop in another court, as Bridget Mary Cronin Sutton filed for divorce on March 21, 2013 (Case No. 19AV-FA-13-845, access here) . As the screenshot from public court filings show, the case will be heading to a pre-trial proceedings at the end of the month.
This will be Sutton's second or third divorce. As the Suttons have small children in the home, the dissolution of the marriage is not an occasion for joy.
