COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The GOP speaker of the Ohio House on Tuesday called for his predecessor, a fellow Republican under federal indictment in a $60 million bribery scheme, to resign his seat and leave the General Assembly.
Republican Rep. Larry Householder was stripped of his speakership last month but remains a lawmaker.
He is accused of helping shepherd energy company money toward successful passage of a nuclear bailout bill last year.
The House and Senate have convened committee hearings to repeal the bailout legislation.
