Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk to Step Down in April 2011

Link to October 5 Wisconsin State Journal article, "Falk sends shock wave through Dane County with decision to step down".

Excerpt: Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk's surprise announcement Monday that she would step down in April, midway through her four-year term, left politicians and pundits relatively speechless.

While Falk was telling the media Monday she was "open to the world" after 14 years in the county's top job, likely candidates to replace her were chewing over their options.

Notice how Brian Schimming dis-tinguishes himself in the State Journal article.
