Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has agreed to settle the largest bribery and money laundering scandal in state history with the massive utility that funded it.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.At just $20 million, the settlement amounts only to less than a third of the bribes Akron-based FirstEnergy paid and it is dwarfed by the benefits Ohio utilities have received from Ohio ans as a consequence of the corrupt legislation those bribes paid for.
The resulting campaign included false, xenophobic TV commercials, bullying people gathering signatures to put a repeal on the ballot and even allegations of assault.Yost gave HB 6 supporters a big assist in the heat of the repeal fight.Before a repeal could go on the ballot, supporters had to gather 1,000 valid signatures from registered voters and submit a ballot summary to the attorney general.
