| Articles of impeachment filed against Ohio AG | |
| 2008-05-13 | |
| Columbus Dispatch House Democrats filed articles of impeachment this morning against Attorney General Marc Dann, charging him with nine counts relating to a sexual harassment scandal that has led to widespread calls for him to resign. The articles, sponsored by 42 of 45 House Democrats, contend that Dann warrants impeachment for "misconduct in office rising to the level of malfeasance, neglect, nonfeasance, gross neglect of duty, improper exercise of authority and gross immorality." A PDF of the actual filing is here. Politically, what I think is happening is that the Dems want to get this over with so it'll all be (hopefully) forgotten in November, while the Trunks would prefer to time it so the impeachment trial of Democrat Marc Dann (an Obama-supporter) in all its lurid detail coincides with campaign season. No word on where Governor Strickland (a Hillary! superdelegate) stands on the issue this week.
