Ohio's attorney general faces impeachment

Risking impeachment, Ohio's attorney general Monday refused demands from the governor and other fellow Democrats that he resign over a sexual-harassment scandal in his office and an affair with a subordinate.

Gov. Ted Strickland said Democrats will begin drafting an impeachment resolution against Attorney General Marc Dann right away. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted said Monday his chamber — which takes the first step in any impeachment — was already reviewing the process.

A sexual-harassment investigation uncovered an atmosphere in Dann's office rife with inappropriate staff-subordinate relationships, heavy drinking, and harassing and threatening behavior by a supervisor. On Friday, Dann admitted to an extramarital affair.
