Intel Inside Ohio: Intel is the company that is planning to build a massive new computer-chip factory in New Albany, outside Columbus. While company and state officials aren’t commenting, Andrew Tobias reports an announcement is being finalized and will happen soon. The company previously announced plans to build a huge $100 billion complex somewhere in the U.S. that CEO Patrick Gelsinger said would employ 10,000 workers and support 100,000 additional jobs once it’s complete. The planned factory, the timeline for which is contingent in part on pending federal semiconductor legislation, likely would be the largest economic development project in Ohio history.
Chipping in: Most of Ohio’s Republican congressional delegation signed a letter going out today to congressional leaders urging them to pass the federal semiconductor legislation, which would provide $52 billion for domestic semiconductor production that’s key to the planned Intel plant. The bill cleared the Senate with bipartisan support last June, but has stalled in the Democratic-controlled House. The Republicans join the state’s Democratic delegation in writing recent letters in support of the bill. Reps. Bill Johnson, Troy Balderson and Anthony Gonzalez issued also statements today supporting the project. Reps. Warren Davidson, Bob Gibbs and Jim Jordan haven’t signed the letter.
Redistricting and you: Now that the Ohio Supreme Court has thrown out Ohio’s new House and Senate maps as illegal political gerrymanders, the Ohio Redistricting Commission is on a tight timetable to come up with new ones. Tobias maps out (no pun intended) many of the pressing questions surrounding the new, untested process, including when the court’s 10-day deadline likely officially tolls, what process the commission may have to follow, how lawmakers are dealing with the impending Feb. 2 candidate filing deadline and what issues are raised if state officials blow the court’s deadline.
Blazing ahead: The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol campaign submitted Thursday another 29,918 signatures to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, in hopes of having enough signatures to get on the Nov. 8 ballot, Laura Hancock reports. The first time the campaign submitted signatures, only 119,825 were valid.
Ohio prevails at Supreme Court: In a victory for Ohio and dozens of Republican-led states, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday decided to put a hold on the implementation of a new federal coronavirus vaccination and testing mandate for large employers while lower courts weigh the policy’s legality, Sabrina Eaton reports. At the same time, it allowed a separate policy to go forward that requires vaccinations for most health care workers at federally funded facilities.
Clinic gets federal coronavirus help: President Joe Biden on Thursday announced that the federal government is acquiring a billion home coronavirus test kits for free public distribution and will dispatch an additional 120 military medical personnel to help respond to the virus, including 20 being sent to the Cleveland Clinic, Eaton writes. Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said the aid to the Clinic will include 20 U.S. Air Force nurses, physicians and respiratory therapists.
Camera ready: The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction is issuing 5,000 body cameras to corrections officers in all 28 prisons in Ohio by May, the Associated Press’ Andrew Welsh-Huggins reports. That move comes after the state in November settled with an inmate paralyzed by guards, though DRC Director Annette Chambers-Smith said the plan to buy the cameras was in the works before that settlement was reached.
When you’re flush: State Sen. Matt Dolan, a Chagrin Falls Republican, gave his U.S. Senate campaign an eye-popping $10.5 million, NBC News’ Henry Gomez reports. Dolan now joins Mike Gibbons (more than $11 million), Bernie Moreno (at least $3 million) and Jane Timken ($2 million) who have put large amounts of personal dollars into their efforts.
Million-dollar man: Meanwhile, fellow Republican Senate hopeful J.D. Vance’s campaign announced earlier this week that he’d raised more than $1 million for the fundraising quarter. Vance said the haul came from more than 11,000 donors, 90% of whom were small-dollar donors of less than $250.
Senate pipeline: The U.S. Senate on Thursday defeated a proposal by Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz that would have imposed sanctions on the company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline built to deliver Russian natural gas to Germany. U.S. Sen Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, backed the sanctions, arguing that Russia plans to use the new pipeline to hurt Ukraine financially and extract geopolitical concessions from Europe. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, opposed the sanctions, saying he wanted to work with U.S. allies to rein in Russia.
Well Warren-ted: Republican Rep. Warren Davidson apologized Thursday for comparing Washington, D.C.’s coronavirus safety protocols -- which require proof of vaccination to enter buildings -- to Nazi Germany, CNN’s Alex Rogers reports. However, as of Thursday evening, Warren’s offensive Nazi tweet remained undeleted on his Twitter feed.
