UPDATE: Columbus Dispatch says he is trying to negotiate a deal:

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann apparently is trying to negotiate the terms of his resignation, adamant that a bill be killed authorizing Inspector General Thomas P. Charles to investigate the scandal in Dann's office.

Sources said Dann told a number of legislators that an investigation by Charles "would cause all sorts of problems for him and he offered to leave office if the bill is scotched.

All sorts of problems is right! Sounds like he would like to avoid any more investigation and legal repercussions.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann is expected to announce his resignation later today, The Plain Dealer has learned. He planned to break the news to his senior staff this afternoon.

The decision came as Dann faced intense pressure both from fellow Democrats and Republican critics who said he was not fit to continue as the state's top lawyer.

If Dann resigns Gov. Strickland would name a replacement to serve until a successor is elected this November.
