Yahoo18-04-2025

CHILLICOTHE ― U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) had a hopeful message for the community on Friday when he announced on X, formerly Twitter, that the closure of the paper mill would be paused until the end of the year.
Speaking to a large crowd near the mill, he said, "We're going to find a company that's willing to come to Chillicothe and invest in people first.'

'I am confident that this mill will not only survive next year, but for the next 200 years in this community.'
Pixelle Specialty Solutions had announced the closure earlier this week, which would affect approximately 800 employees. The mill has been part of the community for more than 200 years.
DeWine said state and local leaders were already working to find a new company to take over the mill — and they now have more time to do so.
'We cannot guarantee you that, but we're all in this together,' DeWine said. 'Nobody can come down here and walk around and talk to the people in this crowd and not think, 'My, we've got to do something.''
Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney said he is very relieved at this news.
"Well, I will say that my first thoughts are with the families that get a little bit of time now," Feeney said. "I hope Easter weekend will be a little more relaxing for them."
Feeney said he hopes this news gives workers optimism for the future.
"I'm very grateful to the team, state, the governor, and senators who got the pause for us," Feeney said. "I'm looking forward to digging in Monday to keep this thing open and fighting like hell."
We will continue to update this story throughout the day.

What Do You Think Of Elon Musk's Time In Government?

Elon Musk's short stint in government was controversial, to say the least. Now that he's left the Trump administration — and broken up with the president in a very messy online feud — I want to know your honest opinions about his time in government. Maybe you're appalled that he swooped in, laid off hardworking federal workers with DOGE, then ran off into the sunset with his billions. Now, many of those workers will struggle to pay their rent/mortgage while Elon goes back to his cushy CEO life. Perhaps you're upset that DOGE cut funding for important agricultural programs. Now, your local food bank's budget has been slashed, and you're worried about the families in your community. Maybe you're still appalled by the Tesla showcase in front of the White House. Conflict of interest, anyone? Or perhaps you're frustrated by Elon's change of heart because it doesn't actually change anything. He still spent millions to get Trump elected, and now we're stuck with this president. Elon can go on X (formerly Twitter) and say Trump's tariffs "will cause a recession in the second half of this year," but the American people have been saying that for months and will be the ones suffering. Whatever it is, we want to know. What's your honest opinion of Elon's time in government?

U.S. President Trump says he has no hard feelings for Musk, leaves door open for reconciliation

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 11, 2025, 17:40 IST U.S. President Donald Trump has downplayed recent tensions with Elon Musk, saying he holds 'no hard feelings' despite their very public feud over the past week. His comments come shortly after Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he 'regrets some of [his] posts' about Trump, admitting, 'They went too far.' In an interview addressing the ongoing spat, Trump said he was surprised by Musk's criticism of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which the President described as 'phenomenal' and 'the best thing we signed in the country.' 'When he did that, I was not a happy camper,' Trump said, adding, 'I don't know what his problem is… I haven't thought too much about him in the last little while.' Despite the fallout, Trump appeared to extend an olive branch, stating, 'I think he feels very badly he said [those things]… I was disappointed in him, but it is what happens. I don't blame him for anything.' When asked about the possibility of reconciling with Musk, Trump replied, 'I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country.' This marks a potential cooling in tensions that had escalated sharply in recent days. Musk had accused Trump of suppressing the Epstein files and labeled the tax proposal a 'pork-filled abomination,' prompting Trump to suggest pulling federal contracts from Musk-led ventures. Musk responded by threatening to halt NASA-related SpaceX missions and hinted that Trump owed his 2024 victory to Musk's influence. As of now, no direct meeting has taken place, but Musk's heart emoji response to Trump's earlier 'wish him well' remark has kept speculation alive about an eventual reconciliation between the two powerhouses.
