Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, not sure about the Dann problem. From The Daily Record:

The state’s chief elections official isn’t sure issues raised in an investigation of Attorney General Marc Dann’s office rise to a level that merits the Democratic officeholder’s impeachment.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who spoke to Dann Wednesday night on routine business matters involving her office, said she believes the attorney general should resign, as indicated in a letter sent by all of the state’s major Democratic officeholders earlier this week.

“There’s nothing in there that says I think he should be impeached. … I think it’s up to the House. … Clearly the things that occurred were serious, but do we get to the level of it being an impeachable offense when that process hasn’t been used since the 1800s? I’m just not sure,” Brunner said Thursday.

The Governor, who came out hard against Dann earlier in the week saying they’ll take any necessary action to rid the AG’s office of Dann, is now saying first they need some evidence:

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is leaving the door open for not going through impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Marc Dann.

Strickland says he won’t support impeachment against the fellow Democrat if there’s no credible evidence that Dann committed a serious crime in a sexual harassment scandal in his office. Republican lawmakers in the House have been working on outlining the process for impeachment.
