Ohio governor has not called up the National Guard before 'No Kings' protests
With the National Guard and U.S. Marines deployed to protests in Los Angeles, some Akronites worried the same thing may soon happen here after noticing increased activity at the Ohio National Guard Recruiting Center on North Hawkins Avenue. Dan Tierney, a spokesman for Gov. Mike DeWine, on June 10 said the governor has not activated the National Guard and that the state is unaware of any federal deployment. Guard members are likely gathering in Akron for routine training, something that regularly happens in Akron and other locations across the state, Tierney said. The activity at the North Hawkins site comes four days before the scores of 'No Kings' protests that will compete for attention with an enormous military parade in Washington D.C. to honor the 250th birthday of the Army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. The elaborate parade, which will feature U.S. tanks and war weapons, will cost taxpayers an estimated $45 million. The No Kings protests — happening locally in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Kent, Hudson and Cleveland — are citizen driven and do not involve tax money. 'They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services,' the No Kings website says. 'The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.' The military parade is scheduled to begin in D.C. at 6:30 p.m. June 14, with a concert and fireworks to follow. No Kings protests will happen at various times throughout the day. More information about times and locations are available on the group's website.

Intel again pushes back expected opening for semiconductor plant in central Ohio
Intel Corp. has again pushed back the expected opening for its semiconductor project in central Ohio. The struggling chipmaker announced Friday that construction on the first of its two factories — known as fabs — planned for New Albany is now expected to be completed in 2030 and begin operations between then and 2031. Construction of the second fab should be done in 2031 and operations should begin in 2032. Intel announced the project in January 2022 and broke ground eight months later at the site in Licking County, just northeast of Columbus. The first plant initially was due to begin operating in 2025, but the project has since been delayed by financial concerns, the departure of its CEO last December and other problems. The company was once a dominant force in the semiconductor industry but has been eclipsed by rival Nvidia, which has cornered the market for chips that run artificial intelligence systems. "We are taking a prudent approach to ensure we complete the project in a financially responsible manner that sets up Ohio One for success well into the future," Naga Chandrasekaran, the executive vice president, chief global operations officer and general manager of Intel Foundry Manufacturing, stated in a message posted on Intel's website. "We will continue construction at a slower pace, while maintaining the flexibility to accelerate work and the start of operations if customer demand warrants." Intel has received $2.2 billion of the $7.8 billion in funding it was due as part of the federal CHIPS Incentives Program. At least $1.5 billion of that funding was set to go toward the New Albany project, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, called the latest delay a "disappointment" but said the state remains confident in the project.
