FirstEnergy in Talks to Plead Guilty in Massive OH Nuke Bribery Case

Ohio’s House Bill (HB) 6 law granted billions (plural) of dollars to FirstEnergy in an attempt to prop up the company’s economically failing nuclear power plants. FirstEnergy is accused of bribing state legislators to pass, and keep passed, HB 6 by paying out $61 million (see FirstEnergy Involved in Bribery Scheme to Pass $1B Nuke Bailout Law). It is the biggest bribery scandal in Ohio history. FirstEnergy finally, openly, admitted they paid the bribe money (see FirstEnergy Admits to $61M Payment in Massive Bribery Scandal). However, the company has refused to admit that what they did is a crime. That appears to be changing.
