Gov. Jim Doyle has appointed a lawyer in private practice to be the next district attorney in Ashland County. Doyle says Kelly McKnight, an associate at a law firm in Ashland, is an experienced and thoughtful attorney who will be an outstanding DA. McKnight will replace Sean Duffy, the Republican who resigned the position to focus on his congressional campaign. McKnight is a 2000 graduate of the University of Wisconsin law school.
