Some allegations
Investigations of the attorney general’s office under Marc Dann have turned up that:
Dann’s security detail provided “chauffeur services” for his family in state vehicles, including taking Dann’s daughter and friends to see Miley Cyrus in Cleveland and riding along as his son practiced for his driver’s test.
Dann “squandered” $30,000 a month by giving staff members BlackBerries and bought 99 vehicles for his office costing $1.9 million.
Dann hired a group of young women dubbed the “Dannettes” whose conduct and dress were so inappropriate that they had to be sent to etiquette classes.
Dann set the tone for office conduct in which displeasure with subordinates “was expressed by screaming, yelling, breaking phones and other office property.”
Dann, who had $9.11 in checking when he became attorney general, used campaign cash to pay for everyday living expenses.
In a meeting on a death-penalty case, Dann asked a female staffer, “Do you want to make a porno?” When she once rejected a dinner invitation, he said, “I’m the (f-ing) attorney general and if I give you an order to have dinner with me you’ll be there.”
