Sam Randazzo resigns as Public Utilities Commission of Ohio chair
Updated 11:18 AM; Today 10:47 AM
snip-"COLUMBUS, Ohio—Sam Randazzo has resigned as chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, just days after the FBI searched his Columbus home as part of an investigation into the House Bill 6 bribery scandal, according to Gov. Mike DeWine’s office.
Randazzo’s resignation comes a day after FirstEnergy Corp. revealed that it fired CEO Chuck Jones and two other senior executives last month over a questionable $4 million payment the company made in early 2019 to an entity associated with an unnamed person who subsequently was hired by the state to regulate utilities.
snip-"In a resignation letter, Randazzo said the impression left by the FBI raid and FirstEnergy’s filing, along with the accompanying publicity, “will, right or wrong, fuel suspicions about and controversy over decisions I may render in my current capacity."
snip-"Randazzo did work for FirstEnergy Solutions, then a FirstEnergy subsidiary. FirstEnergy Solutions, now a separate company called Energy Harbor, is the owner of two Northern Ohio nuclear power plants set to receive a $1 billion-plus ratepayer bailout starting in January, thanks to HB6.
In July, then-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four allies were arrested and charged with running a $60 million bribery scheme using FirstEnergy money to secure the passage of HB6 and fend off a potential referendum to overturn it."
