What kind of garbage is this? Who is sponsoring this-- the ORP (Ohio Repository of Perverts)?

Two low-level employees, at least one of whom has a criminal record, get drunk with their bosses, have regrets, and start making garbage up. And we are supposed to moralize about the boss' boss, who not even the tramps can drag into this conspiract?

Two members of the U.S. Senate from the so-called "Family Values" party are still serving, despite actually admitting to engaging in deviate sexual behavior. They're still in office. No one has accused Marc Dann of even LEGAL sexual behavior, let alone anything illegal.

Why are you trying to bring down a Democrat when there are so many GOP crooks and criminals still serving in office?

If the Democrats had a spine, they would all get together and refuse to speak to the Vindy or any other media outlet doing the Repugnicant Network of Criminals' bidding.

The "big shot gangsta" valley mentality is at it again. Will it EVER stop? It needs to STOP so the credibility of this town can get some traction. Dann's muscle-flexing ego now presents with some kind of denial/apology conflict in an attempt to salvage his job. Don't buy into it. LOOK at who he brought with and surrounded himself with as his "administration". The attorney general's office is not some back-room boy's club where anything goes and special deals can be had if you got the "connections". Dann's behavior, and that of his subordinates, which he supported and participated, is unbecoming and unacceptable of the highest law enforcement officer of the State. All of the State's highest Democratic Party leaders see it, know it, and have expressed their repugnance at and rejection of Dann and his ilk. He has disgraced himself and, unfortunately, Youngstown as well.

Marc Dann should step down... and take his corrupt friend Paul Gains with him. Two peas in a pod.

If the Mahoning Valley wants to gain any kind of respect then Mahoning County needs to put it's own house in order. Get rid of the corruption for once and all!

It goes beyond Democrat or Republican. It is not a political issue.

As long as corruption exists among the prosecutors office, the lawyers, and the judiciary in Mahoning County the county will never recover.

When the wicked rule, the people mourn.

Investigators raid Dann's office, seize equipment.
Investigators from the Ohio Inspector General’s office descended on Attorney General Marc Dann’s office shortly after 11 this morning, defying Dann’s legal arguments that they had no right to investigate his office. A state trooper was seen hauling video equipment from the attorney general’s office in the Rhodes Tower shortly after noon today. Authorities also reportedly locked down computers operated by Dann and about a dozen of his top assistants. . .

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH May 14, 2008
Traficant, the mob, and now Marc Dann-Youngstown native's scandal gives his city an even worse rap."It's one more bad event that puts Youngstown in the public's disfavor,"...

There's not enough younger people staying here to change the culture." THIS IS HOW THE REST OF THE STATE VIEWS YOUNGSTOWN.We need to change the image of our city.

I find it sad that so many of our hard-earned tax dollars are being spent on an investigation into nothing more than what has been going on in American politics for years and years. Corrupt individuals, men and women, out to satisfy their own needs in positions of power. We need a president this next election with real integrity and an idea of what it will take to save our country. At this point I am not sure who that is. We are in real hardship - the working class American - we that keep this country going. Spend our tax dollars on the future - our children - not on investigating people like Marc Dann and his "cronies" and his women. Shame on all of you for the press coverage of that fluff when the real worries are the price of gas, food and essentials for millions of Americans.

I just saw this idiot in a Boardman Bookstore today. I cannot believe he has the guts to show his face in public! I would have moved far far away from here. What a piece of .....!

Marc Dann told police departments to open cold cases one for every jurisdiction. I don't know across Ohio how many was as glorified as the one in Youngstown. Why when he gets into office that is the first thing that he does. I wonder if he is friends with Blanchard as well as the other people that was in his employ. Is this what politics is all about? Citizens tax dollars are going toward hiring friends and doing favors for friends, what a joke!
