Yes, Friend, HB6 has not been repealed yet.



But today's lawsuit filed to prevent the some of the damaging affects of HB6 <[link removed]> is the best news we've heard since Larry Householder's arrest.  Columbus and Cincinnati officials argue the nuclear energy fee created through HB6 is an unconstitutional tax, given its allegedly corrupt origins.



City officials said they’re looking for the courts to intervene since the state legislature has yet to act, despite calls by Gov. Mike DeWine and others to repeal the bill.

“They spent last year getting everything they wanted.”



There's a lot riding on the effort to repeal HB6. It's staggering to see the numbers. Laura Bischoff from the Dayton Daily News wrote this overview yesterday <[link removed]> about what's at stake:



"There is more than $2 billion riding on whether HB6 remains Ohio law or is repealed. The law requires payments by customers across Ohio:



- $1.3 billion to subsidize nuclear power plants owned by Energy Harbor, through 2027;

- $444 million to subsidize coal plants owned by Ohio Valley Electric Corp. through 2030;

- $355 million in ‘decoupling’ revenues to FirstEnergy through 2024; and

- $140 million in subsidies for large solar projects though 2027."



Ohio Citizen Action's Executive Director, Rachael Belz, told Bischoff, “'[FirstEnergy and Energy Harbor] spent last year getting everything they wanted ... why has the House not repealed HB6? Why have they not taken any real action?'”



We call upon the Ohio General Assembly to repeal HB6 



This effort is not over - Governor Mike DeWine has signaled that we can see action taken during the lame duck session after the election.



Please help us make sure Speaker Bob Cupp and the legislature gets our message loud and clear. Make a contribution of any size to keep our work going strong.
