The arrest by the FBI of Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four of his fellow Republicans in a $61 million bribery case is not only the largest such scandal in Ohio political history, it could have an impact on Ohio elections for years to come.

WVXU Senior Political Analyst Howard Wilkinson spoke with News Director Maryanne Zeleznik about the potential political fallout from the Householder case.
