Strickland: Step down Dann
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and other prominent Democrats are demanding state Attorney General Marc Dann’s resignation. Read a comprehensive package of stories, with a timeline, video and more here.
Below is the letter from the governor to Dann (sorry I’m a couple days late on this; I was out of town):
Sunday May 4, 2008
Attorney General Marc Dann State of Ohio Rhodes State Office Tower 30 East Broad Street Columbus, OH 43215
Dear Attorney General Dann,
We write to you tonight to ask that you resign your position as Attorney General of the State of Ohio.
We believe that your actions have irreparably harmed your ability to effectively serve the people of our great state.
The work of the Office of the Attorney General matters more, and is far more important, than any one person. In many, many cases it is all that stands between the people and the powerful. Sadly, we no longer have even the most remote hope that you can continue to effectively serve as Attorney General and that is why we are asking for your resignation.
We also want to make you aware that if you do not choose to resign, Democratic members of the Ohio House of Representatives will immediately introduce a resolution seeking your impeachment. We sincerely hope that this action will not be necessary and that you will act in the best interest of the people of Ohio by tendering your resignation Monday morning.
Sincerely,
Gov. Ted Strickland
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner
Treasurer Richard Cordray
Senate Minority Leader Ray Miller
House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern
