Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann is expected to announce his resignation later today, The Plain Dealer has learned. He planned to break the news to his senior staff this afternoon.
The decision came as Dann faced intense pressure both from fellow Democrats and Republican critics who said he was not fit to continue as the state's top lawyer.
It also followed action targeting Dann in the Ohio General Assembly today by lawmakers from both parties. House Democrats this morning filed articles of impeachment against Dann, accusing him of misconduct and malfeasance in office. And House Republicans began plans to fast-track a bill that would allow the state Inspector General's office to conduct an independent investigation into Dann's office.
Good. I was calling for his ouster yesterday. Even though I’d never heard of him.
You’re in Ohio. Maybe you can splain Lucy. I can probably fill in the blank and just substitute the name and his face for another crooked hypocrite who banned smokers and is now on his way to jail for unrelated corruption and the story would be the same.
What did he do illegal?
Comical to a point, but it won’t keep even one disgruntled OH voter from supporting Oprah’s Obama.
One of the accusations is he obstructed the investigation. My reading of it is that he lead the investigator to believe that his mistress did not spend the night. Later, he amended his statement to indicate that she did.
Govenor Strickland is now announcing Marc Dann’s resignation.
