The Republican-dominated Ohio Ballot Board approved summary language for the proposed redistricting amendment that sponsors of that map-drawing reform effort promise to take to court this week. In this episode, Ohio Statehouse Scoop Host Jo Ingles reports on the controversy over the language Ohioans will see on the ballot when they cast votes and why sponsors of the plan say it does not represent at all the actual amendment voters will be deciding. Ohio Public Media Statehouse Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and reporter Sarah Donaldson talk about school bus driver shortages, difficulties facing social workers, and the latest update on the state's tax revenue. Plus we'll give you the latest on the HB 6 scandal, the largest corruption crime in Ohio's history. First Energy agreed to pay $20 million in damages but many are saying that's not enough given the company benefitted from a $60 million bribery scheme.

FirstEnergy will avoid state prosecution for paying off public officials in the biggest bribery scheme in Ohio history by paying even more money to the state -- $20 million.

Utility professionals looking to work as consultants or trade allies after retiring should start planning now, according to the article, "Taking the Next Step in Your Utility Career," which originally appeared in our June 2024 Electric Utility Operations section of T&D World. This article, which is now available as part of our ICYMI series for the Line Life Podcast, is authored by Mike Zappone of Tempest Utility Consulting. He shares the stories of three recent retirees from the utility industry and their journey from working full-time to consultants: Anthony Hurley, who retired from FirstEnergy's Jersey Central Power & Light; Philip Wright, the former vice president of distribution operations for Appalachian Power; and Carlos Torres, who retired from his position as vice president of emergency preparedness and business resilience at Consolidated Edison. They discuss best practices and pitfalls to avoid when making the transition from working for utility companies to making their own way in the consulting world.

According to current cognitive psychology and neuroscience understanding, our memories are multilayered constructs composed of personal experiences and information acquired from external sources. So, when questioning witnesses about their recollections, it's crucial to understand what those layers are made up of. Is it purely personal recollection? Does it include what they were told by others? Does it include what they were told when their lawyer prepped them for the deposition? Examining the underlying sources or layers of the deponent's knowledge helps identify the individuals and documents that influenced and possibly biased what the witness says.Be sure to click through to our home page if you don't see the complete list of cites in the show notes.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, March 19, 2024.   WV's solar energy continues to grow with the addition of Marion County's Fort Martin site. A new campaign targets potential first-time foster parents. And explore new technologies at the Focus Forward conference in Morgantown…on today's daily304.  #1 – From WV NEWS – West Virginia has long been one of the nation's leading producers of electrical energy, largely due to the coal industry. Until the beginning of this year, when FirstEnergy's Fort Martin solar site in Marion County came online, the largest solar array in the state belonged to Toyota. Visitors to the campus of Toyota Manufacturing West Virginia in Buffalo are greeted by the sight of its SmartFlower solar array. The campus also is home to a 5-acre array of more traditional-looking solar panels. The arrays are capable of generating 2.6 megawatts of power. The energy is used to power a number of employee services buildings on the campus and three EV charging stations. FirstEnergy's solar site on the site of its Fort Martin Power Station has about seven times the generating capacity of Toyota's array. The 80-acre site has nearly 50,000 solar panels capable of producing up to 18.9 megawatts per hour. The site is the first of five the company has said it plans to operate in the region. “It is important to have this voluntary option available to customers, as renewable energy is a large economic driver in both attracting new industry to West Virginia and keeping existing companies that now require a portion of their electricity to come from renewable sources,” said Jim Myers, president of FirstEnergy's West Virginia operations.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services, along with Aetna Better Health of West Virginia, Mission West Virginia, and 10 foster care organizations around the state are all collaborating for the initiative, which targets first-time foster care parents as recruits, and focuses on finding older youth in the system good, stable homes. The Executive Director of Mountain Health Promise with Aetna Better Health of West Virginia Kathy Szafran said the organizations all agreed there's a great need in those areas. They are particularly looking for single or married adults who may have considered fostering in the past but have not yet taken the steps needed to become qualified. “The focus is on honesty, urgency, and duty,” she said. “We want folks in West Virginia to be able to know that we need them and we need them now.” They encourage those considering being a foster parent to visit wefosterwv.org as the next step, as it's a central resource outlining everything you need to know to become qualified.

FirstEnergy figured they could get their customers to subsidize their poorly performing nuclear power plants. To do so, they paid a $4 million bribe to Sam Randazzo just before Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine appointed him as the chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

FirstEnergy figured they could get their customers to subsidize their poorly performing nuclear power plants. To do so, they paid a $4 million bribe to Sam Randazzo just before Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine appointed him as the chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

Dark money for political campaigns helped make the Ohio nuclear bailout bribery scandal possible. But that $60 million FirstEnergy doled out to elect Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and his allies, to pass HB 6 and stop it from being rolled back, wasn't the only cash that traded hands.

In this episode, we'll explore how Larry Householder rounded up votes to become Ohio House Speaker. And, how he strong-armed opponents of the bill he promised to FirstEnergy, known as HB 6.
