is a great place to do business, unless you're a customer.

Just ask First Energy.

It bribed Republicans to get a $1 billion taxpayer bailout. Now the Fed is about to drop further action under a deferred prosecution agreement where FE paid $237 million in fines. ("A parking ticket", says one expert.)

BTW - Dropping the case will also end any chance for consumer refunds.

Meaning getting caught simply cut FE's bailout from $1b to $763m. EOS

Am I the only one who thinks it is funny that when you go get a file from certain official Ohio departments, the URL is Dam.Assets.Ohio.Gov?😂

I can see calling Ohio HelpDesk going this way,

Ohio Helpdesk's minimum wage worker, "Thanks for calling the State of , how can I help you."

Me, "Yes, I tried to download payment schedules but got a 404 file not found error at the dam assets

Ohio Helpdesk, "Sir, I know it can be frustrating. If you can give me more info, I'll look into this"

Ohio parents receive $4 million dollar hospital bill after delivering quadruplets'

They all needed to be admitted to the NICU and each of her four babies ended up staying between 64 days and 147 days which totaled over $4 million, for which all of it was covered by #Ohio #Medicaid

I wonder what the actual amount the hospital got was, because the bills sent to patients' vs Medicaid payment max is greatly inflated. My guess, $250-500K.

Thank goodness Medicaid stepped in

Hey, I’m going to be in the end of next month to visit the National Museum of The USAF. The Reds are playing a home stand so baseball is definitely on the agenda and we’re crossing into KY for a distillery tour but that’s about it. Anyone have any idea(s) on other things to see/do?

I don't think I ever saw those little half-millimeter black-legged nymph until a year or two ago. I've had two on me already this year. My neighbor had last year and I don't like this at all.

Am I just noticing them for the first time? Or is their range newly expanding into ?

Sect of St just sent a letter to the Chair of the OH Dem Party that he will exclude from the OH ballot since the DNC convention is after their arbitrary deadline. OH extended the deadline for Repubs in 2012 & 2020, but refuses to do it now. Story.

Ohio ratemaking reform bill would give more favors to utilities, critics say

It would also limit transparency, removed rights to obtain information & "eliminates due process rights for parties"

It's going to allow utilities in Ohio to create or raise new fees without justifying the new rates.

Legislation in 2019 let them go from $8 per month to $70 per month for a single outdoor security lamppost.

The Ohio GOP loves utilities. #HB260 #HB6 #OhPol #Ohio #USPol

"A judge in Ohio could rule as soon as Monday in a case that could overthrow the state’s 2019 abortion ban...A ballot measure approved by voters last year already rendered much of that law moot, but parts remain in place including reporting requirements and a 24-hour waiting period, which can add stress and an increased financial burden for those in need of abortion care."

Failing Senator J.D. Vance said that he would be for a plan similar to , where President Orban seized control of the universities, neutered the courts, and rewrote the Constitution. A decision to stay home in November means you're OK with that. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/19/2241442/-The-Answer-is-NO-As-in-HELL-NO?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

This is an interesting account of how a large #SolarFarm was approved, against the odds, in #Ohio.

There are a lot of spurious myths surrounding the proposed solar farms, but a large part of the opposition stems from real concern over the loss of farmland. It seems to me that advocates for agrivoltaics have their jobs cut out for them in farming communities.

Noticed the #mortgage payment wasn't coming out of my bank account. We mailed it April 26th. Mortgage company got it today, May 14, said it was postmarked April 30, waived late fee.

#PostOffice said it went from here & got shipped to another postal center & processed then sent to another center & finally back to the local post office

Our mortgage payment was late because the #USPS is screwed up

Our post office, mortgage company & I are within a mile of each other #AppalachianOhio #DeJoy #Ohio

I was very lucky to see some of the aurora borealis the other night. Usually my view of interesting sky phenomena are blocked by clouds.

This level of color was not visible with the naked eye. This was a 60-second exposure.
