SoCal Gas is the nation's largest utility, but (incredibly), it's not the dirtiest. That prize goes to #Ohio's #FirstEnergy, which handed $60m in ratepayer dollars to state politicians in illegal bribes in exchange for coal and nuclear subsidies and cancellation of state climate rules. That scandal led to #GOP speaker of the Ohio House #LarryHouseholder being sentenced to 20 years in prison:

Former #Ohio #HouseSpeaker #LarryHouseholder sentenced to 20 yrs 4 role in largest corruption scandal in state history & taken immediately into custody, a judge declaring “the court & the community’s patience w/ Larry Householder has expired.”
The #Republican tensed slightly as Judge Black meted out punishment, the max under the law, & appeared somewhat disoriented as #USMarshals cuffed him. He glanced at his wife, who exited courtroom with his ball cap in her hands.
