Neil Clark, 67, was arrested last July and charged with racketeering as part of a federal investigation into House Bill 6 (see FirstEnergy Involved in Bribery Scheme to Pass $1B Nuke Bailout Law). Clark was a "close political ally of then-House Speaker Larry Householder." Householder, since removed from his position, seems to be at the center of the scandal. Federal prosecutors described Clark as Householder's "enforcer" who coordinated supporters and fundraising efforts. Clark was found dead in Florida on Monday.
