Marc Dann – Our Own Little Slice of Blagojevich
What more can be said about Marc Dann that hasn’t already crossed someone’s lips or illuminated some pixels on a screen or stained black a piece of newsprint?
Well, they can’t call him a douche bag in the newspaper, but I’m sure someone has in the Ohio blogosphere. You gotta love the blogs – we can say how we really feel.

Tom Charles’ OEC Filing on Dann Appears to Provide Evidence of More Than Misusing Campaign Funds
The front page of the Dispatch today has more from the 1,000 page filing Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles provided the Ohio Elections Commission this week regarding former Attorny General Marc Dann. It appears that Dann crony and former AG manager Tony Gutierriez was laundering money from Dann’s campaign account to pay his own business’s debts.
He also appears to be “singing:”
“I’ve never seen people go through money as fast as them two in my life,” Gutierrez told the IG about Marc Dann and his wife Alyssa Lenhoff.
The Dispatch also points out that Charles used words like:
- absolutely incredible
- defies logic
- inconceivable
- difficult to fathom
to describe Dann’s handling of his campaign cash. I would provide a link to the Dispatch story, but their own link is broken as of this writing.

Complaint Against Dann Filed with Ohio Elections Commission
From the Columbus Dispatch:
Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann falsified his campaign finance records to disguise tens of thousands of dollars spent to benefit himself, his wife, children and top campaign staffers, a complaint filed today says.
Statements of receipts and expenditures that Dann’s campaign filed with the secretary of state “contain incomplete, inaccurate and false information concerning expenditures from the fund for travel, food, beverages, cell phones and other expenditures,” Inspector General Thomas P. Charles said in a sworn statement filed with the complaint before the Ohio Elections Commission.
