Ohio State House of Representatives Speaker Larry Householder, et al., accused of $61 million bribery/money laundering scheme related to Ohio's 2019 $1.5 billion nuclear & coal bailout House Bill 6

As reported by Ian Cross at News5Cleveland:

Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four of his associates have been arrested on charges in relation to “what is likely the largest bribery, money laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio," one that allegedly involved at least $61 million passed through a 501c4 organization controlled by Householder and other entities for the purpose of passing HB6 in 2019, a law that provided a $1.5 billion [rate]payer bailout to FirstEnergy.

U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio David DeVillers spoke with reporters about the 81-page indictment of Householder and his associates on Tuesday afternoon.

Around 90%, or more, of the Ohio ratepayer-funded bailout went to FirstEnergy's (now Energy Harbor) two age-degraded atomic reactors on northern Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline, Davis-Besse near Toledo, and Perry near Cleveland. Another portion of the bailout went to FirstEnergy-owned dirty old coal burners.
