YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, May 15 (UPI) -- Marc Dann, under fire for a management scandal that brought calls for his impeachment, resigned Wednesday as Ohio's attorney general.

"My conduct has caused the creation of a firestorm of negative publicity that has reached a point where it is preventing the great professionals in the office from doing their important work," Dann said in his resignation letter to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, who was among those calling for him to give up his post or be impeached.

"The only way I can ensure that the great work in the office can continue is to take responsibility by resigning."

His attorney, Mike Harshman, said Dann is going to work for his wife, Alyssa Lenhoff Dann, who sells Fiestaware on the Internet as a side job, the Youngstown Vindicator reported.
