If you did not know, First Energy, the company involved in the federal racketeering charges against the speaker of the Ohio House and four other people, is the current holder of Marietta's electric aggregation contract. It also has the support of Bill Dauber
of the city administration and at least some members of Council to be the next contracted supplier. The city is accepting bids until July 31. I urge you to write Council requesting that no bid from First Energy be accepted while the continud federal investigation
is underway. I have attached my letter to the editor, submitted today, a list of details from the 82-page criminal complaint should you wish to use any of them, and the complaint itself.</div>
