FirstEnergy Corporation seeded some $60 million dollars towards former speaker Larry L. Householder to arrange a sweet $1.6 billion dollars in government bailouts for their power plants. The fallout from this hasn't completely settled yet, but it's madness that so far he's only been hit with a 20 year prison sentence. They funneled this money through PACs with names like Generation Now and Hardworking Ohioans because the current legal code makes it easy to hide where the sources of money are coming from.

That’s a whole lot more than most people were expecting. I’m just wondering how much of it he’ll actually serve given how much these thugs like to commute each others’ sentences.

Should have been longer than 20 years. They need to go after the real problem in the office tower in downtown Akron.
More people need to go to jail for this.
