Mark Dann isn't giving up. He's pushing the Ohio Supreme Court actually review Taft's documents and reconsider making them public. He must be pretty sure there's something illegal in there. It would be hard for the Ohio Supreme Court to refuse to allow Taft's papers to be public if they saw something illegal in them.
Mark Dann is a tenacious guy.
"COLUMBUS - A Democratic state senator yesterday urged the Ohio Supreme Court to examine the documents that Gov. Bob Taft wants to keep secret, saying failure to do so would strike a blow against citizens who file taxpayers' lawsuits to "halt illegal government activity or corruption involving misuse of public funds."
Attorneys for Marc Dann, a Youngstown-area state senator who is running for attorney general, wrote: "In some cases, the only way to know if there is a possible corrupting influence related to a transaction is to access the records reflecting the communications and contacts between private business or political interests and officials, like the governor, involved in such transactions."
