Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann may resign this week, but it will not be today.
Dann's office issued a short statement at 3:58 p.m. stating, "In response to numerous media inquiries today...Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has not resigned and no further announcements are planned."
State Rep. Robert Hagan, D-Youngstown, a long-time political ally and personal friend of Dann's, said news reports that Dann would resign today were premature.
Michael Harshman, a Youngstown attorney working on Dann's behalf, confirmed no resignation would occur today.
Hagan said he went to Senate President Bill Harris, R-Ashland, on behalf of Dann early today and told the leader that Dann would resign if the Senate did not include an emergency clause in legislation calling for an Ohio Inspector General's investigation.
By inserting the emergency clause, the bill and probe would become effective upon Gov. Ted Strickland's signature. Without the clause, the bill would be effective 90 days after the governor signs it into law.
Hagan said he was acting as an intermediary on Dann's behalf in the matter, and Harris told him he would not comply.
Hagan said Dann personally called House Speaker Jon Husted, R-Kettering, on Tuesday morning and offered to resign if the House did not include an emergency clause in the bill authorizing the inspector general's investigation.
Neither Dann, Husted or Harris were available for comment.
The House inserted the inspector general probe into legislation on the floor today with an emergency clause and the Ohio Senate concurred with the changes, clearing the way for the bill to move immediately to the governor's desk to become effective upon Strickland's signature.
