COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — There appears to be consensus among Republican lawmakers to replace a bill tainted by an alleged bribery scandal to provide $1 billion in subsidies to two Ohio nuclear plants.
Democrats want the bill to be repealed outright.
The Ohio Legislature missed an Oct. 1 deadline to repeal the bill, which likely will result in customer charges for the subsidies beginning in January unless an emergency repeal measure is approved.
