federal corruption

David DeVillers talks about his work on the high-profile cases before he resigned at President Joe Biden's request.

One supporter of the bill that would delay the nuclear bailout says it also nixes measures that would financially benefit First Energy.

Electric bills are still scheduled to increase next month.

Corruption continues to surface, and the efforts to repeal the so-called nuclear bailout law are at a standstill.

The former FirstEnergy lobbyist proclaims his innocence.

In legal papers, the utility states that it can't confirm or deny whether money from Ohio customers was used in connection with HB6, the controversial nuclear and coal bailout law.

Ohio ratepayers face, on average, a $7 increase in monthly bills to subsidize two nuclear power plants once owned by Akron-based FirstEnergy. The investigation continues into whether the company bribed legislators to ensure passage of the legislation that authorized the subsidies.

FirstEnergy's new CEO Steve Strah acknowledges the cloud of uncertainty hanging over the company after the former CEO and two other executives were fired last week.

Case filings and delay of possible nuclear bailout combine to block Ohioans from learning more before voting.

Now that two men have pleaded guilty in the federal corruption case involving a nuclear energy bailout bill known as HB6, opponents of the legislation are again pushing for repeal.
