More than a dozen bills have been proposed to repeal all or the repeal of House Bill 6, which was stripped of its subsidies to Ohio’s nuclear plants in 2021.

Householder, the main defendant in the largest public corruption trial in Ohio history, could end up regretting taking the stand.

Former Ohio House speaker Larry Householder is done testifying on the stand, and ex-Ohio GOP chair Matt Borges's team said they would not mount a defense.

Federal prosecutors showed an invoice from a private investigator firm that detailed the surveillance it conducted on signature gatherers who wanted to repeal the nuclear power plant bailout.

An arm of FirstEnergy Corp. was “bleeding cash” as it explored options for the two aging nuclear plants eventually rescued by Ohio House legislation that federal prosecutors say former Speaker Larry Householder championed in exchange for corporate bribes, a utility executive testified Tuesday.

Steve Strah took over when FirstEnergy’s board of directors fired the previous CEO following an internal investigation into the federal racketeering case surrounding the House Bill 6 energy law, also known as the nuclear bailout law.

The Public Utility Commission of Ohio voted Wednesday to pause four state investigations tied to the First Energy bribery scandal.

The newly-disclosed messages show executives talking about the support they were getting from Ohio's Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to pass a 10-year nuclear bailout, despite Husted previously said he did not play a role in getting the legislation passed.

As part of a settlement in a shareholders lawsuit, six members on FirstEnergy’s board of directors did not seek re-election.

Attorneys representing investors in utility giant FirstEnergy Corp. say the company’s former chief executive and a top official were behind the payments in an alleged $60 million corruption scheme. .
