COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio House of Representatives on Thursday voted to remove Larry Householder as its speaker.
The bipartisan vote was 90-0 with Householder and a handful of state legislators not in attendance.
Householder and Borges were two of the top influential Republicans in Ohio at one time, and until authorities came lurking around, including the FBI, and the IRS.
Described in a damning FBI complaint as a $60 million pay-to-play scheme of widespread public corruption and conspiracy involving FirstEnergy Corp with bribery at the helm, news of the charges and Householder's arrest has rocked political circles in Ohio.
That 1.5 billion bailout came via the statewide electricity bill surcharge under HB 6, which was supported by only 10 House Democrats.
Nearly a half dozen others, practically all of them Republican operatives, have been arrested in connection with the now infamous bailout fiasco.
