Dear Friend-
It has been one year since
Ohioans first learned of the $61 million bribery scandal surrounding
House Bill 6. We are still working to clear the cloud of corruption and
disgrace that hangs over our state government.
The costly coal subsidies and provisions gutting our clean
energy standards implemented by House Bill 6 remain in effect today,
costing our ratepayers millions every day and dragging down our
economic growth.
Over the past year, Ohio lawmakers have had the perfect
opportunity to develop a real energy policy for our state. Instead,
they have chosen to pass legislation designed to erode property owner
rights, abandon an all-of-the-above energy strategy, and pit neighbor
against neighbor.
Ohio deserves a comprehensive energy policy built around
equitable solutions that are good for our economy, our communities,
and our health. We call on the Ohio General Assembly to stand up to
big utilities and take back our energy future.
When it comes back from recess, the Ohio legislature will consider
the repeal of an estimated $700 million ratepayer-funded bailout
extended to two coal-fired power plants. Senate Bill 117/House Bill
351 would not only end the subsidies of Ohio Valley Electric
Corporation power plants, but refund all monies collected and return
them to ratepayers.
ACTION: Call or email your
state representative and urge them to vote yes on HB
351. Find your rep here: Ohio House District

You make this work
possible!
Please help with a special gift
to celebrate what we've been able to accomplish together
so far.
Thank you!
