Old-school heavy metal. Rock and roll. The song selection was less about musical preference and more about what caused the largest ruckus. Why do you hate Ohioans so much? a man yelled through a loudspeaker, carrying a stick affixed with two flags: the Ohio Burgee
and the yellow Don t Tread on Me flag, a symbol of limited government and gun rights.

Instead, they were fellow Republicans flouting the governor s COVID-19 restrictions.

COLUMBUS – Money from Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. comprised more than one-third of all contributions to a dark money group supporting Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and likely all of the cash given to one backing his daughter s county prosecutor bid, newly revealed 2019 tax records show.
The donations came the same year that Ohio s GOP-controlled Legislature passed House Bill 6, which included a $1 billion subsidy for two nuclear plants, then-owned by FirstEnergy Solutions. DeWine signed the bill within hours of it reaching his desk.
DeWine s daughter Alice DeWine announced her campaign for Greene County prosecutor in September 2019.
Federal investigators say former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four others used nearly $61 million from energy companies, chiefly FirstEnergy, to fuel Householder s leadership fight, House Bill 6 s passage and an extensive effort to block a ballot initiative to upend the bailout.
