AKRON, OHIO - In case you missed it, Ohioans gathered outside the Summit County Common Pleas Courthouse to call out FirstEnergy "golden boy" Jon Husted as he was forced to take the stand to answer for his key role in the largest public corruption scandal in Ohio history.
Husted's testimony made clear he was at the center of the massive bribery scheme that delivered a billion dollar bailout to utilities and contributed to energy rates for Ohioans increasing by $663 a year.
Husted has already been mentioned more than 250 times during the corruption trial, with new developments continuing to surface - including phone calls, text messages, and previously unreported secret meetings between Husted and the indicted FirstEnergy executives.
