DISCUSSION: DOES STARK COUNTY, THE 50TH DISTRICT WANT A DIVISIVE STATE REP?


Trustee Celeste DeHoff (Tuscarawas Township) and Democratic candidate for the 50th Ohio House District is stirring up a tempest between the township and the city of Massillon and its long time Democratic mayor Francis Cicchinelli.

The fuss? An annexation issue and roadway maintenance issues. That's it.

So, DeHoff, working through her township colleague Dean Green is at loggerheads with the Massillon mayor and his Safety-service Director Mike Loudiana.

Massillon seems to want to talk it out and work together with Tuscarawas Township officials including DeHoff according to press reports from the Massillon Independent.

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT surmises that DeHoff has adopted the antipathy of her political sponsor Massillon Clerk of Courts and Stark County Democratic Party Chairman Johnnie A. Maier has expressed toward Mayor Cicchinelli.

With Stark County and a constituent part (the 50th House District) having serious economic problems, does DeHoff demonstrate the characteristics that show her to be a problem solver rather than a problem creator?
