Thank you to everyone who has
called, written, emailed, recorded a video, or made a contribution to
our Our Crime with
DeWine campaign!
We released another video
Tuesday at 2pm featuring Ohioans who
are sick of the lack of leadership and integrity demonstrated by the
DeWine/Husted Administration in cleaning up the House Bill 6/PUCO
scandal.
Disappointment and frustration
over unanswered calls for change and unanswered calls on the phone are
moving more Ohioans to action. They are demanding the Governor “do
better.”
We hope you will take a moment to
watch:
Our voices are being heard
"Coal subsidies
and gutted renewable standards remain two years after Householder’s
bribery arrest." It's enough to make you think you have to be living
in an alternate universe. But no, just living in Ohio post House Bill
6.
Our senior
advisor, Lisa Maatz commented on how the Ohio legislature have refused
to pass a full repeal of HB6:
“Consumers are
getting hosed in Ohio right now and they know it... Politicians have
been counting on consumers having short memories..the reality is the
sting of this is lingering and we get a reminder of it every month
when our bills come up.”
The
$4.3 million Randazzo payment was disclosed last week in a shareholder
securities lawsuit
FirstEnergy's C-suite executives and senior VPs were
apparently all informed of the company's plan to bribe Ohio's top
utility regulator in a meeting months before they paid out the $4.3
million bribe. FirstEnergy only publicly disclosed the payout in 2020
after the FBI raided Randazzo’s home.
The timing of the alleged Executive Council meeting
matters
Former FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones disclosed the existence of
the payment to Randazzo’s private consulting firm at an Executive
Council meeting in December 2018. It means that we can finally let go
of the claim that Governor DeWine hand-picked Sam Randazzo to lead the
Public Utilities Commission without knowing his ties to
FirstEnergy.
It's further evidence how FirstEnergy works behind the scenes
to protect their profits and fight the clean energy
transition.
TAKE
ACTION!
Did you know that we have two electric school bus
manufacturers in the state of Ohio and 611 school districts, yet NOT
ONE electric school bus is driven on our roads?! If you have a moment,
please tell your school district
leaders today that you are ready for EV buses in
Ohio!
Thanks again,
Ohio Citizen Action
