snip--"On the day Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill 6 into law in 2019, two First Energy executives celebrated their win.

"We made a bbiiiiiiig bet and it paid off," former CEO Chuck Jones texted.

“Huge bet and we played it all right on the budget and HB 6 - so we can go back for more!” former Vice President Michael Dowling responded.

That win would come crashing down a year later."

snip--"The attorney general's spokesperson Bethany McCorkle couldn't corroborate the FirstEnergy subpoena, telling News 5 that if an investigation existed, they would be explicitly prohibited from disclosing it."
