From Kane's Facebook:
"UPDATE:
Friday will be my last day working at the Journal Sentinel after a 31 year career.
I've decided to accept a lucrative buy-out offer instead of switching to an education beat. After being informed my Metro column was ended, JS editors did give me several options but I've decided this is the way for me to go.
Thankfully, I will continue to write a Sunday Op-ed column in the state's largest n
ewspaper, so my voice will still be around to speak truth to power. (Sorry, haters.)
Again, this is all about the kind of change that comes to everyone eventually. At this point, I think this is the best move for me.
I'm looking forward to exciting new opportunities but also admit I will miss going into the newsroom filled with familiar faces each day like I've done the last 31 years.
All in all, I've been a blessed brother, thanks to many of you.
The struggle continues."
