Marc Dann is gone, but the state inspector general on Thursday promised a wide-ranging state investigation into the problems that chased him from office.
Meanwhile, employees of the attorney general’s office tried to come to grips with the drama that unfolded this week behind Dann’s departure and tried to regain focus on their jobs.
Inspector General Tom Charles, whose investigators raided the attorney general’s Columbus and Youngstown offices Wednesday just hours before Dann resigned, has invited nearly a dozen local and state agencies to join his inquiry.
Charles would not comment on what he is specifically looking for but said he is interested in reviewing various allegations that cost Dann his job.

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann announced he was quitting Wednesday during a late afternoon press conference with Gov. Ted Strickland by his side.
“Unfortunately, the last step I must take as Attorney General to resolve these problems is to resign as Attorney General ” said Dann as he read from a prepared statement at the governor’s Statehouse cabinet office. “It is my belief that this will preserve the great work being done by the office of Attorney General.”
While Dann did not take questions from the reporters assembled, Strickland answered questions from the media.
Strickland said Dann “has come to realize the seriousness of the situation” as “growing recognition from around the state” piled up asking for him to leave.
