Longtime biz reporter leaves Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's longtime business reporter Avi Lank has accepted a buyout, adding to a growing number of employees who area leaving the paper, according to reports from the Milwaukee Business Journal.
From the story:

Journal Sentinel executives this week were reviewing applications from employees who volunteered to accept the company’s severance package as it seeks a 10 percent staff cut, or about 130 positions across all departments. That followed a 5 percent staff reduction in fall 2007. Betsy Brenner, publisher and executive vice president of parent Journal Communications Inc., said she didn’t know as of The Business Journal’s Aug. 6 deadline whether the voluntary separations will reach the 10 percent goal or whether the company will need to lay off employees.
