More breaking news on the House Bill 6
scandal, Friend:
Subpoenaed documents released by the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio reveal the roles of former chair Sam Randazzo,
current hearing examiner Greg Price and others involved in the House
Bill 6 scandal.
Greg Price helped write House Bill
6, now he's blocking investigation
Over the last 18 months, PUCO attorney Greg Price has issued
multiple rulings squashing attempts to investigate the bribery that
FirstEnergy admitted to in court
documents.
Jake Zuckerman from the Ohio Capital Journal
reports that the records show Price helped draft the
legislative text, received regular updates about its legislative
progress, formally reviewed HB 6 for the PUCO, and was briefed on its
status as lawmakers launched efforts to repeal it after the
FBI arrested former House Speaker Larry Householder.
The fact that Price had a role in crafting House Bill 6
policy and is now limiting what commissioners and the public can learn
is an affront to all of us waiting for justice to be
served.
Like last week's Toledo Blade editorial said,"PUCO has as
much credibility investigating FirstEnergy as Al Capone would have had
investigating mob tax evasion.”
Randazzo worked behind the
scenes
Former PUCO chairman Samuel Randazzo used at least three
different personal email accounts to communicate about HB 6 before he
resigned after an FBI raid on his home.
The emails that the PUCO released reveal that
Randazzo, whom FirstEnergy has admitted to
bribing in the HB 6 scandal, fought efforts to repeal the scandal-ridden HB
6 and was pushed by negative press into ordering
FirstEnergy to investigate itself.
Still pulling the strings?
The kicker might be that indicted former House Speaker Larry
Householder still communicates with members of the state
legislature.
After his arrest, Householder was released on conditions,
including he not have any contact with potential witnesses in the
case.
Please help us hold policy
makers accountable
