Schultz Taking Hiatus

Plain Dealer Columnist Connie Schultz is taking a hiatus from her work for Ohio's largest newspaper. In a column today, the Pulitzer Prize winner explains that continuing to write about what's on her mind has become increasingly difficult ever since her husband, Congressman Sherrod Brown, announced he's running for Senate. The difficulty, she writes, is in finding topics that won't cause some readers to accuse her of stumping for her husband in her column. She says she wants to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. She spoke with ideastream's Dan Moulthrop.
