COLUMBUS, Ohio Parts of a bill embroiled in possibly the largest bribery scandal in Ohio history will soon be repealed. However, some groups say the job s not yet finished.
Ohio energy customers were footing the bill for millions of dollars in subsidies for the state s two nuclear power plants under 2019 s House Bill 6.
Not long after passage, the bill was linked to a bribery investigation involving public officials.
Now, Gov. Mike DeWine will sign House Bill 128, removing the subsidy and lowering utility rates.
