A weekly open house to gather Knox County Democrats together and plan how we can keep Ohio blue. This week, we’ll focus on spiffing up the dreary office to make it a welcoming gathering spot for canvassing and phone banking. We also invite volunteers to canvass or phone bank. Bring a friend!
While you’re at it, bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation for the “Christmas in July” food drive at the Farmer’s Market across the street. Two good deeds in one day!
Location: KCDP HQ, 1 Public Square, Mount Vernon

“Private Investment Comes as a Major Boost to USEC’s Ohio Operations, Will Create Jobs”
WASHINGTON, D.C. (from press release) — Following today’s news that the Babcox & Wilcox Investment Company (B&W) and Toshiba Corporation have reached an agreement to invest $200 million in USEC, U.S. Rep. Zack Space issued the following statement:
“Today’s announcement is great news for USEC, its Piketon facility, and job-seeking Ohioans across our region,” Space said. “Nothing is more important to me than creating and protecting Ohio jobs, and I’m pleased to hear that USEC will continue to play a key role in Ohio’s economy.”
USEC has been seeking a federal loan guarantee for its American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, which, if successful, could create nearly 8,000 U.S. jobs during the peak of construction. Nearly half of these jobs are expected to be located in Ohio. Under today’s agreement, Toshiba and B&W will each invest $100 million in USEC, strengthening the corporation’s financial base as a condition for the loan guarantee.
