Ex-FirstEnergy Officials Break Silence Under Questioning by OMA

This week, former FirstEnergy lobbyist Justin Biltz testified before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, where OMA Energy Group attorney Kim Bojko pressed him for details about the utility's secret payments and backdoor deals tied to Ohio's largest bribery scandal.

Bojko questioned Biltz on the millions paid to entities linked to ex-PUCO Chair Sam Randazzo, including a $4.3 million payout before his 2019 appointment. Biltz admitted the payments and meetings with Randazzo shaped House Bill 6 but claimed he did not know if customer rates were used to recoup the money. 6/13/2025
