Senate President Harris joins call for Dann to resign
Senate President Bill Harris, R-Ashland, has joined the chorus of those calling on Attorney General Marc Dann to resign.
Harris on Monday, May 5, also said in a prepared statement that state Inspector General Tom Charles should be called in to do an independent investigation of the sexual harassment scandal that has rocked Dann’s office. First Assistant Attorney General Tom Winters has been “tasked” with identifying an independent counsel and the inspector general should be the choice, Harris said.
“In my view, the only way to get to the bottom of this scandal and ensure that there can be no charge of bias is to enlist the state Inspector General,” Harris (pictured) said. “The Inspector General is the only office of which I am aware that is well equipped to lead a thorough, unbiased inquiry into this matter.”
Harris joined House Speaker Jon Husted, R-Kettering, Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and other Democratic statewide officeholders in asking Dann to step down. Dann, a Democrat, has resisted the requests.
“I do not see any scenario in which Marc Dann could be able to do an effective job as Attorney General,” said Harris. “He should do the honorable thing and resign.”
