what are the dangers of dark money?
Answer:
The speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives was kicked out of his role last week after being arrested by the FBI on bribery charges a few weeks earlier. Larry Householder stands accused of taking bribes and turning those bribes into dark money, which is money spent on elections where the source is unknown to the public. His alleged crimes are exactly the type of scheme that campaign finance advocates have been warning of for years.
At the federal level, over $1 billion in dark money has been spent since 2008, and dark money has grown in state elections as well.
According to the Justice Department, the $60 million bribery scheme in Ohio was funded by an energy company then called FirstEnergy which is now called Energy Harbor. The company wanted a bailout bill that would cost the taxpayers of Ohio a billion dollars — and it got it.
House Bill 6 was shepherded through the Ohio House by Householder, passed the Ohio Senate, and was signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine in 2019. The bailout applies to two nuclear power plants in Ohio owned by FirstEnergy/Energy Harbor.According to the DOJ, the energy company gave millions of dollars to Householder’s advocacy nonprofit, called Generation Now. It then spent dark money in Ohio elections supporting both candidates and a campaign for the bailout bill. Because this money was dark, the voters in Ohio did not know its corporate source or Householder’s role in dolling it out. Generation Now, a 501(c)(4), was also charged as being a participant in the conspiracy.
This is precisely the trouble with dark money in our elections. It could be covering up all sorts of illegality, from alleged bribes of lawmakers in the Ohio case here or potentially illegal foreign money in American elections. And even when dark money is simply hiding a cowardly corporate donor, it still robs shareholders and voters of transparency and accountability.

Answer:
Its 3, 4, and 5
Explanation:
The accurate statements that describe the terms of this mortgage are:
The monthly interest rate is 4 per cent.Monthly payments must be made for 30 years.The homeowner is borrowing $200,000.Therefore, option B, C, and E are correct.
What is a fixed-rate mortgage?A mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate is one in which the interest rate on the note does not change during the loan. A home loan option known as a fixed-rate mortgage has an agreed-upon interest rate for the duration of the loan.
The details of this mortgage are accurately described by the following statements:
The interest rate for the month is 4%. This implies that the owner must pay the regular price plus an additional 4% monthly."Monthly payments must last 30 years," it states. To pay off the loan, the owner will have to make a payment each month for 30 years.The homeowner is taking out a $200.000 loan. This is the sum the homeowner will borrow from the bank or business and repay over 30 years through monthly installments.The other three assertions are inaccurate since they do not accurately represent the mortgage's terms.
There must be 360 payments made throughout the required 30 years (12 months every year). Neither is the homeowner making 360 years' worth of payments, nor are they borrowing $360,000.Not 4.8% is the annual interest rate. By accounting for days and months, the proper technique to calculate this value would result in a result of about 60%.Learn more about fixed-rate mortgages here:
