The good news is my friend and former Journal and Journal Sentinel colleague Eugene Kane will remain at the paper after another round of buyouts as education reporter, but the bad news is that he will not [correcting earlier word drop, so I repeat, "not"] continue as a columnist, according to a report Kane posted on his Facebook page.
That eliminates a thoughtful and liberal voice in the paper that I do not think will be replaced.
Also leaving, among others: City Hall reporter and long-time transportation writer Larry Sandler, and Waukesha columnist Laurel Walker - - another sensitive voice.
