Abe names BJ buyout candidates

Former BJ political columnist and writing coach Abe Zaidan names the people he thinks will get the year's pay to leave the BJ staff. Management wants five buyouts.

Abe says Jewell Cardwell, Dave Scott, Jim Carney and Bill Lilley are on the list. Food writer Lisa Abraham resigned to accept the same job at the Columbus Dispatch. 

If more than five apply for the buyout and year's pay, Abe says, the top BJ editors will decide who to let out the door.
