“I have been honored to serve the people of Pennsylvania, and I wish them health and safety in all their days,” Ms. Kane said in a statement.

A spokesman for Ms. Kane said her resignation would be effective by the end of the day on Wednesday.

I could be wrong.

But where I left off when I was looking at it was that I was left with a feeling that what was happening to her smelled. Maybe I got sucked in. Maybe not.

I'll see if I can find the time to revisit. Something about this case bothered me.

Get the hell out, and don't let the door hit your ass when you do. You have the whole Republican party in which you can play those games.

She and the office she ran was a hot mess. She was constantly in the news - none of it good.
