CANTON  Britnee Allen's rental house and new job at the Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority are glowing examples of an agency success story — or the fruits of favoritism from the top. On one hand: Using her government-funded Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8), the unemployed single mom moved her family from Orrville into the Plain Local School District and a house on 41st Street NW the Housing Authority had recently purchased. Then in short order, Allen landed a newly-added Housing Authority position that pays almost $40,000 a year — which enabled her to abandon her housing subsi...

But on the other hand: Hill knew Allen personally. Their now seventh-grade sons, both currently living in the Plain school system, played together on an Ohio Phenom Academy travel basketball team in 2017, and have played against each other since. And that house Allen leases on 41st Street was the only one purchased last year by the Housing Authority. Some former and current Housing Authority employees said they believe Hill used his position to give Allen special treatment.

Except, many Ohioans know that the 1978 forecast turned out to be anything but a normal winter front. It became a legendary winter storm that has been the source of countless stories. The Blizzard of 1978 was a three-day monster storm that killed 51 Ohioans — one, from Stark County — doing much of its destruction on Jan. 26, 1978. "It brought sights and sounds that haven't been equaled in all the bad winter weather that has come and gone since then," the Canton Repository wrote in 2013. The storm brought 50 to 70 mile per hour winds and snow drifts topped 20 feet. Many roadways were i...
