A slap in the face to every ratepayer in Ohio.
Ohio legislators knew that their "yes" vote on HB6 would help the
rich get richer on the backs of hardworking Ohioans.
And now, in the midst of a pandemic when so many consumers in Ohio
are struggling to make ends meet -- is when FirstEnergy Solutions is
returning an $800 million audacious
payoff to their investors.
The Plain Dealer recently reported that,
"The company and elected officials who backed the bailout argued
without state money, the power plants and their parent company would
become insolvent."
FirstEnergy gutted Ohio’s renewable energy and energy
efficiency standards to provide a pay off to their investors. We knew
that, but it still stings.
Friend, we can’t change that our legislature passed this atrocity.
But we will remember how they voted
when they run for reelection this November.
Thanks for your continued support,

front lines of democracy.
