Generation Now was established as a nonprofit or ostensibly as a social welfare entity, which allowed it to avoid disclosing donors.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>The following is a statement from Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio:<\/strong>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOhioans deserve a transparent and accountable government, but today we saw the third guilty plea since the FBI indicted Larry Householder and four of his allies. While the extent of the bribery scheme is not known, it is clear that House Bill 6 resulted from corruption and must be repealed. It\u2019s also clear that Ohio must ban the kind of dark money used to facilitate this scheme. Transparency is closely tied to accountability and it is time for the Ohio General Assembly to shine a light on dark money in politics so that secret money is never used again to take advantage of consumers.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
