COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio's attorney general has resigned amid the scandal of
a
***ual harassment investigation in his office and his extramarital affair.
Marc Dann has been under pressure of possible impeachment and announced he
was stepping down on Wednesday.
The 46-year-old Democrat at first refused to resign, despite demands by
Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and others within his party.
Dann admitted May 2 to an extramarital affair with an employee that he
said
contributed to an atmosphere leading to ***ual harassment claims against a
top aide. Three aides were forced out in the harassment investigation,
which
showed managers encouraged a casual work environment with frequent
profanity
and inappropriate interactions with subordinates.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I
would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working
for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.
And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
