Top Democratic staffer resigns after 'inappropriate conduct'

COLUMBUS – The chief of staff for Ohio Senate Democrats was asked to resign after "inappropriate conduct toward staff" came to light.

Mike Premo, who served as chief of staff to Ohio Senate Democrats, resigned Monday evening at the suggestion of Ohio Senate Minority Leader Kenny Yuko, a Cleveland-area Democrat.

“Recently, concerns of inappropriate conduct toward staff came to my attention and I found the information to be credible," Yuko said in a statement Monday.

Deputy Chief of Staff George Boas will fill Premo's role until a permanent replacement is selected. Additional details about the "inappropriate conduct" were unavailable Monday.
