Larry Householder's "fixer" found dead.(Householder is former Ohio House Speaker in bribery scandal)

https://www.rawstory.com/ohio-lobbyist-found/

The death of a longtime Ohio lobbyist who was charged in a nearly $61 million bribery scheme is being investigated by authorities after a passerby found him in a car in a wooded area this Monday.

According to Dayton.com, Neil S. Clark, 67, was found with a handgun and a bullet wound in his head.

Clark was arrested on July 21 along with former Ohio House speaker Larry Householder, former Ohio GOP chairman Matt Borges, lobbyist Juan Cespedes and political strategist Jeff Longstreth. The group was charged by prosecutors for allegedly taking nearly $61 million in dark money from Ohio utility companies to position Householder as speaker, and in turn pass and defend a $1.3 billion bailout law for the companies. Clark pleaded not guilty.
