Bob and Jon talk about national and local politics and development on the near east side of Columbus.

Interview with the Ohio Environmental Council's Trish Demeter on the efforts to repeal HB6, a bill railroaded through the Ohio legislature by (now former) House speaker Larryn Householder which guaranteed tax-payer subsidies for Nuclear and Coal power plants and which gutted the state's already diminished energy conservation standards and renewable energy targets.
Householder has been indicted and charged with racketeering in relation to a bribery scheme wherein fossil fuel energy produces (presumed to be, primarily, First Energy) gave Millions to Householder and his campaign fund in apparent exchange for his advocacy of HB6.
