The Columbus Dispatch is reporting:
Governor, other top Dems call on Dann to resign
All statewide Democratic elected officials and legislative leaders today are asking embattled Attorney General Marc Dann to resign from office, The Dispatch has learned.
Dann will be sent a strongly worded letter that should reach him no later than 11:30 a.m. that he must, in the best interest of his office and the party, step down.
The letter comes after multiple conversations took place over the past two days among Gov. Ted Strickland, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, Treasurer Richard Cordray, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and the two Democratic legislative leaders, Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Columbus, and Sen. Ray Miller, D-Columbus. Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern's name also is on the letter.
All participants in the talks agree with the content of the letter, a source said.
Dann today responded directly to a Dispatch question about whether he intends to resign with a one-word text message: “No.”
