Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Mary Beth Buchanan, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, announced today that she plans to step down, effective Nov. 16.

Ms. Buchanan has served in the post since September 2001, when she was appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. A news release from her office did not state whether she had made plans for the future.

There has been speculation that she could challenge Congressman Jason Altmire next year.

More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.


Good riddance.

1. Good riddance, indeed.

Go away, Mary Beth. If you challenge Jason Altmire, you will almost certainly get your ass kicked. Hmmm...maybe you should stick around, after all.
