It's hard to imagine the Dane County Board without its current chair, Scott McDonell. McDonell was first elected to the board in 1996 -- the same year he graduated from UW-Madison -- taking over a seat vacated by Mark Pocan. He has been the board chair since 2005, leading the board's liberal majority. But he's stepping down to take on the position he was elected to in November: Dane County clerk.
