GRANGER -- Long and winding are the roads that led former Mexico Attorney General Jorge Madrazo Cuellar to supervise Radio KDNA in the Lower Yakima Valley.
"In terms of stress on the job, it's a world of difference," Madrazo said. "As attorney general, I didn't know if my enemy was in front of me or behind me. I didn't know who was ready to betray me."
Madrazo, 58, landed in Seattle as the Mexican consul in 2001 following four years as his nation's chief prosecutor. Six years later he became vice president of community relations for Sea Mar Community Health Centers, the Seattle-based nonprofit agency that purchased the Spanish-language public radio station last month.
