Ohio attorney general resigns

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann resigned today, less than a week after the firing three of his staff and forcing the resignation of Chief of Staff Edgar Simpson, the former editor of the Joplin Globe:

The resignation comes a day after Democrats filed nine articles of impeachment and the Republican-controlled legislature passed a bill allowing Inspector General Tom Charles to investigate Dann's office.

Investigators for Charles began removing equipment, including computers, from Dann's office earlier Wednesday
