As reported by Fox19 Now t.v. in OH.
Although not yet confirmed, it appears highly likely that the FBI raid on the Public Utility Commission of Ohio chairman Sam Randazzo is connected to the nuclear power alleged bribery/bailout scandal. The scandal involves FirstEnergy Nuclear, which allegedly bribed OH's speaker of the state house, Larry Householder, to the tune of $61 million. The alleged bribe was made in order to secure, and defend, a $1.3 billion bailout, at Ohio ratepayer expense, to prop up two dangerously age-degraded, economically failed atomic reactors on the Lake Erie shore, as well as dirty old coal burners, including a plant in Indiana.
Before succeeding at the OH state legislature, FirstEnergy had tried, time and time again for several long years, to secure its nuclear bailout at the PUCO. But it was blocked time and again by opponents, including Beyond Nuclear, on behalf of our members and supporters in OH.
