Failed to investigate and prohibit improper use of state property.

Knew or should have known of the misuse of state property for personal business.

Committed acts of gross neglect of duty by undermining the integrity of his office; bringing disrepute upon the office; betraying the public trust as Ohio’s chief law enforcement officer; and undermining the effectiveness and efficiency of the office.

Committed acts of gross immorality and knew or should have known that his personal conduct undermined the effectiveness and efficiency of the office.

    Shalom Jill,

    The question now is: will Dann tough it out until after November?

    Shalom Jill,

    The worst case situation would be impeachment hearing in October.
