BOARDMAN — Ohio’s chief law enforcer was caught on tape cursing a reporter outside a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama because of an article about a woman Dann raised as his daughter landing a state job.
Attorney General Marc Dann, a Youngstown Democrat, was headed into the fundraiser Wednesday when he spotted Warren Tribune Chronicle reporter Steve Oravecz and shouted, “Hey Steve, write this down: Go (expletive) yourself!”
Jennifer Brindisi, a spokeswoman for Dann, said the attorney general believed the article naming Mavilya Chubarova, 22, whom he raised as his daughter, was unfair.
“In talking to him, he’s a father first,” Brindisi said. “He felt someone was unfairly targeting or attacking his daughter, so the words were in protection of her.”
Television station WYTV caught the swearing on camera and posted it online.
Oravecz wrote an article the day before with the headline “Locals with ties to Dann get jobs,” that reported Chubarova got a $37,000-a-year job with Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. Oravecz declined to comment Friday.
Brunner, a fellow Democrat, hired Chubarova the day she took office and later promoted her to the new position of constituent coordinator, the report said. “She’s great,” Brunner said. “I liked Mia’s enthusiasm and her creativity.”
Dann’s office offered Brunner’s older daughter a job as well, but she ultimately turned it down, Brunner said.

Mark Dann is our "Attorney General"!!!
Write a truthful article exposing his nepotism and have the head law enforcement officer tell you to "GO **** YOURSELF".
Such dignity.
Such integrity.
Such honesty and grace and class.
The Democrats are the leaders we deserve.
BTW Mark Dann used to be a "shopping center lawyer" with offices in a mall in Dayton, OH.
Maybe we can hire Nifong next.
ping for your hometown area
Oh yeah, this post is going to last.
Once again showing how intellectually superior liberals are as expressed by the diversity of their vocabulary. /sarc
Right now, they are just showing their polite side because they don’t have total political control yet. Imagine just how polite they will be if they get it.
true
I did not realize that Patrick Leahy is working as a reporter in Ohio.
This is a completely unfathomable scandal and it still goes on.
Straight to the Gulag for you!!!!!!!!
I am shocked,shocked.If I wanted to hear this kind of stuff I would listen to the Vice President.Who still is one of my favorites.
Geeez! My kids read this site. Please.
He is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the Great State of Ohio.
I am just quoting him!
The Democrat was forced, you see, to say obscene words because he's such a good foster father. Understand. Tolerate. Then go throw up.
Both think governing is issuing press releases. Dann is playing the Elliot Spitzer game: sue, sue, sue....
Now, we have an untold number of social security numbers, bank account numbers and other information floating around somewhere.
I thought the concept of "nepotism" would be only if Dann hired his own daughter.
I am an "R" who despises much of what crap the "Ds" in Ohio pull. But I have no problem with Brunner hiring someone she finds to be capable, even if the employee's father is the Attorney General.
Sounds like a quid pro quo on the public's dime, doesn't it? Sounds a lot like barely-disguised nepotism, doesn't it?
