COLUMBUS (AP) — Opponents of Ohio’s roughly $1 billion financial rescue of the state’s two nuclear power plants are ending their attempt to overturn the bailout.
The group called Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts have filed a motion in federal court to dismiss its appeal.
The group had wanted more time to get the issue on the ballot for a statewide vote.
A spokesman tells The Columbus Dispatch that they don’t have enough money to keep going with the court fight.
Ohio lawmakers last summer approved the nuclear plant rescue by adding a new fee on every electricity bill in the state.
