The Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments from a group trying to overturn the roughly $1 billion rescue of Ohio’s nuclear power plants.
Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts argue that Ohio officials took too long to authorize their petition plan. A federal judge hearing the complaint earlier this year turned them down, saying the issues they raised dealt with state law and belonged before the Ohio Supreme Court.
The state Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the case and will schedule oral arguments. Ohio lawmakers approved the bailout in July.
