Hello from Ohio Citizen Action! Thanks for your membership and
support.
We just released our latest video that
features our own Development Officer Melissa English and
Cincinnati resident Alison Kromer discussing the House Bill 6 scandal,
Governor DeWine's lack of leadership in response, and what needs to be
done to clean up corruption at the PUCO.
A few weeks ago we
launched Crime with DeWine to call on
Governor DeWine and Lt. Governor Husted to reject regulated electric
utility campaign contributions and spearhead reforms at the Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).
It's been three years
since Ohio lawmakers first introduced HB 6
Much of House Bill 6, the power plant bailout legislation now
at the heart of the largest corruption case in Ohio's history, remains
on the books.
Kathianne Kowalski from the Energy News Network
reports how the HB 6 corruption crisis was both enabled and
perpetuated by factors that erode democracy:
It's time for
Governor Mike DeWine to lead
Thanks to HB6, Ohioans will pay more on our electric
bills every single month through 2030 to bail out OVEC coal plants.
Customers get nothing in return.
"The most important and direct thing that Ohio can
do to fight climate change and air pollution is to end the
ridiculous subsidies which Ohioans are paying to keep two coal-burning
power plants in operation."
- Mark Wallach, Shaker Heights, letter to the
editor, cleveland.com.
Why has the DeWine administration failed to support more
wind, solar, and other forms of clean, renewable energy? Why do we
continue to pay with our wallets and our health for two failing coal
plants?
