Governor DeWine must come clean

Following the announcement of the deferred prosecution agreement between the FBI and FirstEnergy Corp. on Thursday, State Rep. David Leland (D-Columbus) issued the following statement:  

“This announcement and the information about Sam Randazzo’s appointment as the state’s top utility regulator unfortunately places the largest bribery scandal in Ohio history directly at the doorstep of Governor Mike DeWine.

This, combined with the significant money FirstEnergy gave to his campaign makes it clear that Governor DeWine needs to come clean to the people of Ohio about his role in this historic scandal.”
