Ohio Dems Begin Impeachment Process of Dann

From Business First:

Democrats in the Ohio House of Representatives have filed to impeach Attorney General Marc Dann.

The House Democratic Caucus on Tuesday filed nine articles of impeachment against Dann, many of which point to alleged instances of neglect that legislators contend occurred in Dann’s sworn testimony during an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations involving a former staffer and other statements Ohio’s top lawyer has made.

The move comes after a torrent of calls for the official’s resignation in light of a sexual-harassment probe that led to the firing or departure of three top staffers and Dann’s own admission of an extra-marital affair with an employee. Anthony Gutierrez, Dann’s general services director and the subject of the harassment probe, was fired along with spokesman Leo Jennings. Ed Simpson, the office’s chief of policy and administration, resigned rather than being fired after the report found he didn’t properly investigate the harassment allegations.
