The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's voice of sanity is leaving the newspaper.
Patrick McIlheran is joining Senator Ron Johnson's staff.
Patrick McIlheran, a columnist for the Journal Sentinel's op-ed page since 2004, is leaving the newspaper this week to take a job with Republican Sen. Ron Johnson's staff.
McIlheran, who will work out of Johnson's Washington, D.C., office, will research issues and write about them for the senator. McIlheran also will work for the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia, of which Johnson is the ranking member.
McIlheran's last column for the paper is scheduled to be published Sunday.
This is a good news/bad news thing.
McIlheran will be an asset for Johnson, and in turn, the Wisconsinites that Johnson represents.
Unfortunately, Southeastern Wisconsin is losing an important conservative voice with McIlheran's departure.
I hope the Journal Sentinel considers finding someone else to express a conservative viewpoint. It should be a top priority.
I also wish McIlheran great success in Washington.
