From the Columbus Post Dispatch:
Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann was hit with two elections complaints yesterday, alleging that he broke state law by converting tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds for personal use, then disguising it in falsified reports submitted to the state.
The complaints filed with the Ohio Elections Commission by Inspector General Thomas P. Charles and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner accuse Dann, his wife and top campaign staff members of violating Ohio law no less than eight times.
Receipts and expenditures that Dann’s campaign filed with the secretary of state “contain incomplete, inaccurate and false information concerning expenditures from the fund for travel, food, beverages, cell phones and other expenditures,” Charles said in a sworn statement filed late yesterday.
