Marcy Kaptur said "Today I am celebrating justice and a victory over big corruption in Ohio. A jury in Federal court in Ohio found guilty and convicted the Republican Ohio Speaker, Larry Householder, and former Ohio Republican Party Chair, Matt Borges. Guilty of illegally selling off the Ohio statehouse through bribery, conspiracy, racketeering, and wire fraud, involving taking $61 million in bribes through FirstEnergy's dark money fund called Generation Now. Their conspiracy involved forcing $1.3 billion of FirstEnergy losses on the ratepayers of Ohio. Shame on them. What they were not tried for but should have been is their dangerous malfeasance in allowing FirstEnergy's nuclear plant in my district to operate in the most dangerous manner, creating the most serious set of nuclear accidents in this country's history since Three Mile Island. Onward justice. Onward new clean energy for Ohio and America. ___________________
