COLUMBUS - Democrat candidate Rep. Steve Driehaus says Attorney General Marc Dann is wrong to stay in office, but he seems to have no problem pocketing the money Dann raised for him as the headliner for a fundraising event back in December:
"Steve Driehaus can't have it both ways. Marc Dann's mismanagement and cronyism proved him unfit for office. If Driehaus truly believes Dann should go, he would reject Dann's financial support and return the tainted funds. Condemning Marc Dann while lining your campaign coffers with money he raised is just pure hypocrisy," said Ohio Republican Party Spokesman John McClelland.
On Monday, The Associated Press reported Driehaus as saying "By wanting to stay on, I think he's suggesting that the work can't be conducted by another AG, that the consumer protections that we are so vigorously pursuing around the state can't be enforced by another AG. And I think he's just wrong there." ("Comments Regarding Calls for Ohio Attorney General to Resign," The Associated Press, 5/5/08)
On December 3rd, 2007, Marc Dann headlined a fundraiser for Steve Driehaus at The Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati, OH. The money raised from this event is tainted by Dann's involvement, and it should be returned.
