Chaos on the 17th Floor at the Rhodes Tower...

Maybe this is why there's been no press conference:

A press conference by Attorney General Marc Dann will not be held and the 17th floor of the Rhodes Tower, where his office is located, is apparently on lock-down to protect sensitive documents that may be subject to investigation.
The State Highway Patrol is in the attorney general’s offices, checking employee badges and monitoring to see if documents are being removed from the floor, sources told The Dispatch. Troopers were even searching the purses of employees leaving the offices.
Whether the patrol was working at with Inspector General Thomas P. Charles, who promised to launch an investigation today, could not immediately be confirmed.
Dann’s spokesman, Jason Stanford, said this morning Dann would have a press conference at noon. “Attendance is mandatory,” Stanford said. As noon came and went, Stanford could not be reached for further comment.
But none of Dann’s press officers knew anything about the event.

Brilliant idea Dann's political spokeman had. Let's make sure the entire statewide media is at the office in time to get get photos of the Highway Patrol locking down our office and searching employees for documents. That'll really show the people of Ohio how this scandal isn't effecting Dann's ability to do his job! (So glad they didn't drop that emergency clause now. This IG doesn't wait for long, does he?)
