Ohio Governor Seeks Repeal of ‘Tainted’ Nuclear Bailout
“Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday shifted gears and called on the Ohio General Assembly to repeal the law that would provide a $1 billion bailout of two nuclear power plants on Lake Erie, given revelations about the alleged $60 million bribery scheme that led to its passage,” reports Jim Provance in The Blade.
“He said the process behind the bill’s passage ‘stinks’ and has tainted what he has said is still the good policy behind saving the Davis-Besse nuclear plant near Oak Harbor and the Perry plant east of Cleveland.”
“He called on lawmakers to repeal and replace House Bill 6 through an open process ‘that the public can have full confidence in.'”
