HB6

The bill proposes a new direction as lawmakers debate what's next with a repeal of elements of House Bill 6.

The PUCO discovered $24.5 million was collected from ratepayers and other entities, and used for payments that were deemed "improperly classified, misallocated, or lacked documentation."

There are signs the federal investigation into the passage of House Bill 6 is getting closer to the heart of the DeWine administration.

The former U.S. Congressman who is running for the governor in next year's GOP primary says the federal corruption scandal has made Ohio "the most corrupt state in the country."

Rep. Casey Weinstein (D-Hudson) says he had suspected the tie after hearing Randazzo's nuclear bailout testimony, but Randazzo wouldn't disclose the connection.

Gov. Mike DeWine has made his first public comments since last week’s plea deal from FirstEnergy in the federal corruption case involving the nuclear power plant bailout law known as House Bill 6.

FirstEnergy will pay a $230 million fine in a plea deal with federal prosecutors in the federal investigation into the $1.6 billion bailout for Ohio’s two nuclear energy plants. But some are saying state leaders have not done enough to prevent back room dealing that can lead to scandals like this.

The energy giant at the center of a $60 million bribery scheme in Ohio has admitted to using dark money groups to fund the effort; the city of Akron is attracting less interest in its police force; the Akron-Canton Airport is getting an $850,000 federal grant to bring back service to Houston; and more stories.

Ohio reported 744 COVID cases on Tuesday; Northeast Ohio colleges and universities are getting millions from the American Rescue Plan; Ohio's correctional agency says at least five prison guards used excessive force before an inmate died; and more stories.

Gov. Mike DeWine says he'll seek state funding as part of a long-term lease deal for Progressive Field; DeWine says the state plans to unveil a new coronavirus vaccination incentive program; a federal bankruptcy judge has given law firm employees another three months to explain in detail the millions of dollars they billed in support of a now-tainted Ohio energy bill; and more stories.
