Perry Nuclear Power Plant stacks
FirstEnergy will pay a $230 million fine in a plea deal with federal prosecutors in the federal investigation into the $1.6 billion bailout for Ohio’s two nuclear energy plants. But some are saying state leaders have not done enough to prevent back room dealing that can lead to scandals like this.
FirstEnergy Corp’s plea comes in the $61 million bribery case in which prosecutors say former Speaker Larry Householder (R-Glenford) and the other defendants used FirstEnergy money to pass the bailout known as House Bill 6. FirstEnergy’s former subsidiary owned the power plants.
