By Nikole Hannah-Jones, The Oregonian sheriff's office in April in which he agreed not to return to work for the county for two years.
While the contract doesn't prohibit McCain from running, his campaign for sheriff raises questions among some county staff who question if McCain would be violating the contract's terms if he is elected and starts drawing a $135,000 annual county paycheck.

McCain seeks to take over the remainder of retired Sheriff Bob Skipper's term and serve the new four-year term that starts in January 2011.

Skipper stepped down last week because he did not pass a required law enforcement certification exam. Lt. Dan Staton, who just took over for Skipper, will serve until the May 18 election for both terms.

McCain was once Sheriff Bernie Giusto's top aide and became Giusto's lawyer while drawing a county paycheck. McCain's unusual role as Giusto's attorney became a source of concern among the sheriff's staff and his elected colleagues. Giusto was later forced to retire last year from the county under pressure about ethics and management lapses.

Skipper says McCain had lost credibility with the staff, and  when Skipper  took over for Giusto, he reassigned McCain to a lower-profile position.

Earlier this week, Skipper said he was surprised to learn McCain had filed for sheriff
