An Ohio grand jury has indicted three individuals in what is likely to be the biggest bribery scandal in state history. The 50-page indictment details a decade of payoffs and conflicts involving FirstEnergy, a $1.3 billion bailout that the company has admitted to paying over $60 million in bribes to purchase. Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and former state GOP Chairman Matt Borges are already serving federal prison sentences for their roles in the passage of the bailout and the fight to repeal a voter-led repeal. The charges against Sam Randazzo, former First Energy CEO Chuck Jones and former Vice President Michael Dowling were announced by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. The indictment alleges that RandazzO was general counsel for a group of large FirstEnergy customers while also working as a FirstEnergy consultant.
