Documents made available last week show how House Majority Floor Leader Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, championed gutting Ohio s clean energy standards in the state s 2019 coal and nuclear bailout law. He has since served as a force against repeal.
Claims in a federal complaint released in July indicate that the law was at the heart of an alleged corruption scheme involving roughly $60 million. Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, and others were arrested last summer.
Failure to repeal the law in 2020 was an astounding failure by Republican leadership, said Rep. David Leland, D-Columbus, as the legislature adjourned last month.
