Friend--
Thank you to
all who testified at our virtual public hearings to Repeal HB6. Our
message is coming through, loud and
clear.
 The
election might be over, but our fight to repeal HB6 is
not.
Five federal
indictments, two guilty pleas and three fired senior executives at
FirstEnergy are more than enough proof that HB 6 needs to
go.
Your contribution keeps the pressure on.
Without legislative or legal action, a new 85-cent fee will
be added to every electricity bill in the state. The fees will
direct over $150 million a year to FirstEnergy, through
2026.
It's satisfying to see that someone at FirstEnergy is
being held accountable, but why haven't they been forced to
testify in front of the state legislature?
It doesn't need to be this difficult.
Repeal the entire bill and then decide what parts — if any —
to send through the legislative process again.
Some are not waiting around for the legislature to act. On
October 27, Cincinnati & Columbus officials took legal
action on behalf of all Ohioans by filing a lawsuit
to block the $150 million in annual fees created by House Bill 6.
More cities are considering joining in the
lawsuit.
We need more government and corporate accountability, not
less.
We clearly have a lot of work to do, and there are so
many ways we can win. Please chip in $15 or more
to keep up the fight.
Thank you,
Ohio
