Ohio Democrats Dump Dann
The Ohio Democratic Party doesn’t want anything to do with Marc Dann (pictured), the embattled Ohio attorney general who was elected in 2006 with the party’s endorsement.
The party made that official on Saturday, May 10, as the executive committee, by a voice vote, adopted a resolution that says “the Ohio Democratic Party no longer recognizes Marc Dann as an endorsed Democratic Statewide officeholder.”
The resolution also kicked Dann off the executive committee and called on him to resign as attorney general.
Dann got some support from the Youngstown area, where he lives. Dorothy McLaughlin, an 85-year-old retired sheriff’s deputy from Struthers, a Youngstown suburb, shouted out the only “no” when a voice vote on the resolution was taken.
The vote came a day after Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted, R-Kettering, and Senate President Bill Harris, R-Ashland, announced that next week the legislature will authorize Inspector General Tom Charles to launch an independent investigation of the scandals that have rocked the attorney general’s office.

Eliminate Dann now before he causes too much damage. He is dead man walking anyway as to influence in his office. We don’t need the problems of a Bob Taft administration at the state level and the county level problems of the Kay Rogers,Moskettis, and Furmons of the world.Dems, Repubs- they’re all scum.By john hunicutt

Marc Dann needs to study the constitution; he along with some of his constituents pushed through a law that is unconstitutional. So get him out of the powerful seat as an attorney general. Using public funds, shame on him.By John
