Not overly shocking here.  After all, this is the guy who spent nearly $34,000 in campaign funds for a home security system.  Not to mention however much he spent on the Delta House and cheap and easy pizza delivery from Papa Pineapple Pizza Shack in Columbus.  He’s a big boy now – off the donor and taxpayer dime – and living off of plate sales.   From the Coshocton Tribune:

After pulling campaign expense reports for the past year, 10 Investigates found Dann used campaign-issued debit cards at a variety of restaurants. Among them were places like Starbucks, Bob Evans and Steak n Shake. He also visited restaurants like Rigsby’s and Due Amici, Aker reported.
