1. Thanks Cirque du So-What

That was a good summation.

I can’t see how First Energy will get off scot free here. Truly despicable.

2. Some First Energy officials should go to prison

Aside from the bribery, there must be a thorough investigation of shoddy maintenance on the two nuke power plants in Ohio.

7. Davis-Besse near Toledo needs to be mothballed ASAP.

That POS is a danger to everyone.

It was 3/8 of an inch of steel jacketing away from a meltdown in 2002.

3. "60 mill provided by FirstEnergy to finance a takeover of the Ohio House of Representatives " 😲😲😲

That's some big time bribery there

4. Fucking Ohio...so corrupt. I live in Ohio and I hope every one of these scum sucking

POS...go to jail and First Energy should not evade consequences for their bribery.

5. Between aggressive gerrymandering

And shit like this, no wonder Ohio has a state house full of loathsome Repugs

May they all receive what they deserve.

We are better than this.

6. Wow. That is a huge, steaming pile.

Thanks for posting a great information resource on this, Cirque. It's a case study in how cronyism, power, and money have corrupted the political process in the US.

10. The Repukes would love to do this in every state

If this doesn't get stopped in Ohio, it will be carried over to other states by next year.

Disclaimer: I'm in Pennsylvania where the frackers did something similar - on a smaller scale - 7 or 8 years ago. We're still trying to clean up that mess, and we've got a long way to go.

11. Ohio home to thugs

Republicans and dark money always a part of us!

12. Sometimes we get it right

We elected Sherrod Brown, after all. Overall, the record is pretty dismal, however.
