COLUMBUS – Following an FBI raid and news reports suggesting he received $4 million from one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, Sam Randazzo resigned as chair of the panel that regulates Ohio utilities. His resignation came one day after a third Cincinnati City Council member was arrested for bribery as part of a massive federal probe into corruption.

Common Cause Ohio is convening the second of two Zoom panels that feature nationally acclaimed experts discussing the on-going investigations and offering advice on how to improve government ethics and accountability.
