Ohio inspector says A.G. investigation to be wide-ranging

May 16, 2008

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Resignation is far from the end for former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, who quit Wednesday amid a firestorm of criticism from all sides.

A coalition of law enforcement and administrative agencies is soon to be convened under Inspector General Tom Charles to coordinate efforts and share resources as they review the conduct of Dann and others within his office, Charles said Thursday. Impeachment was the only legal threat to be raised against Dann that had been dropped as a result of him voluntarily stepping down.

Ironically, the gathering will look much like the task force that investigated former Gov. Bob Taft, his aides and associates in the rare coin scandal that enveloped the Taft administration and helped Dann get elected.

Charles said his probe will be wide-ranging. He said it could look at all aspects of the attorney general’s operation, even before Dann took office, and not just allegations raised during a sexual harassment investigation that saw three Dann aides forced from their jobs and two others disciplined.

Dann admitted to an affair with a subordinate after the investigative report was released and threatened to reveal the relationship. He conceded that his conduct contributed to an inappropriate atmosphere in the office.

Charles said his only agenda is to conduct a fair investigation and he can’t say how long that will take.
