(ONN) – It turns out that Ohio voters won’t have the final say on the financial rescue of the state’s two nuclear power plants.

Opponents of the so-called ‘nuclear bailout’ were trying to collect enough signatures to get it on the ballot.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien says no plea has been offered to Davis, and he plans to seek jail time.
