CLEVELAND, Ohio – A group of environmental, energy and public policy groups have formed a coalition pushing for the repeal of House Bill 6, the nuclear energy plant bailout at the center of an FBI corruption investigation into state government.
The Coalition to Restore Public Trust said in a Friday news release it would work to pressure the state legislature to repeal HB6 on the heels of the federal indictment of Republican former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four others. Coalition Executive Director Michael Hartley, a Republican consultant and former aide to Republican Gov. John Kasich, said the group would also aim to educate voters on the legislation itself.
