The heart of it all: Generation Now, the dark money group that was the vehicle for what federal authorities say was the largest bribery scheme in Ohio history, has agreed to plead guilty to a federal racketeering charge. Andrew Tobias and Jeremy Pelzer have the story on the major development in the House Bill 6 scandal. Under the plea agreement, Generation Now admitted it was at the center of the scheme to funnel $61 million in bribes from FirstEnergy Corp. and its affiliates to ex-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, in the form of largely anonymous political contributions.
