People i talked with today including a professor, director of Economic Development for the city, a Business Owner and resident all dispute the findings of the study by the Economic Innovation Group for washington, d. C. Cleveland has consistently ranked among some of the most economically depressed cities in the nation. Reporter like many studies it depends on whom you ask about its findings. The Economic Innovation Group the most distressed city in america. Csu professor ronnie dunn. There is growth and revitalization taking place in select neighborhoods throughout the city. Downtown, for example, ohio city, over in tremont, university circle. Reporter there is no doubt cleveland has its pockets of poverty. Just drive down some streets where the economic recovery hasnt helped yet. Theres plenty of evidence to cleveland. One thing in cleveland the study did not catch is we have diversified our economy. For all the studies they bring up this negative study, we have all the studies that came out in the last year or so that cleveland is a great place doing great things. Pun intended, things are buzzing at the allstate Barber School on lorain road. It is moving down the street and detroit avenue and west 25th. The other areas the most distressed city in america.

Earlier this week we showed you new designs for the rock n roll hall of fame and the committee is saying not so fast. Dani carlson is here to tell us why. Theres nothing wrong with what you are presenting but it is underwomenning. I think you have a great start and suggest you keep reporter the board voted to give the rock n roll hall of fame another two weeks to keep working on it. We were not walking out thinking it was finalized. Part of renovations would mean putting in an outdoor concert venue with the hopes of bringing in more live acts like these guys and bring more music fame. They want to put in an outdoor cafe and welcome sign and giant red sculpture of the words long live rock in front of the museum, a sign intended at least in part so visitors can create the perfect selfie shot. When you have 500,000 visitors walking in your museum every day and everyone is carrying a camera in their phone and snapping stuff and we get hundreds of thousands of posts. This will give us more. Board members say despite the push to get everything done in time for the rnc it was important to get the halls plans on hold today. More dynamic and unique to cleveland not copying from other cities. We only get one shot at these things. And our job is to be looking out for the welfare of the whole community. So it is really important to be thoughtful. Reporter in cleveland dani carlson, cleveland 19.

You see it, more of a visibility problem wet roadways and slow going as you see there. But it wont stay this way. One more system and big changes. More on that next segment. And carl monday exposed a live from clevelands newscenter, driven by Don Joseph Toyota in kent this is cleveland 19 news. Romona we have focused on the issue with Identity Theft this week with it being tax season and theres more reason to be vigilant. Paul orlousky found out someone filing for your Income Tax Refund is a growing concern. One of the targets is fighting back. She did make a fake drivers license with her picture and my name and all my information because she had my drivers license number. Theresa jones is the face of an operation that stole the had no luck getting authorities to do anything about it. Im not sure why they have not arrested her. Reporter we have gotten responses from people to this story worried using a credit card at the mall and worried about security and make you scratch their head and why dont they scan Social Security numbers for names and addresses. 52,000 ohio ans had their identities compromised in 2015 and one a guy is doing about it. An ohio congressman. His story is a bold identity thief. My personal identifiable information was stolen. A fraudster used to electronically file information in my name. A fake house of representatives w2 claiming a refund. The person didnt get a refund but she got a notice from the i. R. S. Stating questions about his return. He hadnt filed yet. Identity fraud and tax fraud is the i. R. S. Stopped 24. 2 billion in fraud in 2014. 5. 2 billion got through. He sponsored a bill. Details are being worked out and has bipartisan support, a rarity these days. Reporter paul orlousky, cleveland 19. Romona carl monday first exposed the problem earlier this week, a little known danger that could lie beneath a school, business or your home. His story has drawn the attention of an influential state lawmaker. Tonight carl has new information before you do any digging on your property. For some time now we have been warned to call 811 before we did. Thanks for calling 811. Call before you dig. To prevent a out reor contractor or homeowner from hitting a gas or sewer line underground. People responded and not everyone was motivated to make the call. Even though we have billboards to say call before you dig you dont believe you will potentially hit some type of line when digging and can you do this when you are putting in greenery in your backyard or front yard. State lawmaker Sandra Williams is on the ohio Senate Public utilities committee. Most people dont Pay Attention to it and most contractors dont actually follow the rules when they are supposed to. Which is a reason we had to tighten up the 811 bill. Tightening up meant passage of the underground protection law that took effect last month and you could be fined 2,500 for not phoning 811 before you dig. Money talks. If you start taking money away from citizens and penalizing them and contractors they will begin to follow the rules in place. Reporter utilities like doing a good job of identifying potential problems before they dig. The new law doesnt address a potential danger we exposed earlier this week known as cross bores, utility lines that intersect with sewer lines. When a plumber is called to repair a backed up sewer, results can be catastrophic. Near cincinnati a cross bore explosion left one familys home in a pile of rubble. And our investigation found cross bores have been reported in other communities closer to home like bay village, North Royalton and westlake. Equally troubling the ohio Public Utilities commission around the state. Some older pipes that were laid originally, theres no way to know where the pipelines are. After we contacted her about our story senator williams agreed to share concerns about older sewer lines with fellow law if necessary. Where they are and maybe figure out a way to stop the cross bores from happening. Now that we have a pipeline to the State Capitol we will let you know what happens next. Just remember. It is a violation of law not to call before you dig. Carl monday, cleveland 19. We checked with the Public Utilities commission and only one complaint is filed one so far and the puco points out the new law is only two months old and expect more complaints to come in as the law gets publicized. All right, the snow is coming down. Dont panic. This isnt a big snowstorm. It wont be with us throughout the night. One thing i like to do before a systems snow is look at the visibilities. It gives a good visibility how you get to a mile and a half, two mile visibility it is a steady light snow and once you get below a half mile to quarter mile you are dealing with heavy snow. As you can see we have a mile and a half visibility in elyria and mentor and here is how it looks on the radar. The thing about this system, it will be with us through most of the night and it wont zip on out of here. It is fairly slow moving. Pretty much what we are getting now with the steady light snow is what we will get throughout the night. Here is where we have little bursts of steadier stuff along the turnpike here erie county, wakeman and the amhurst area beginning to pick up a little bit in elyria. The back edge of this is right here. We have all of this to go. And it will take all night for this to clear out. Good news is it will be out in time for the morning commute.

Where we are still seeing the snow. 4 00 in the morning where it starts to move out. By 7 a. M. Tomorrow morning it will just be flurries. The futureview snowfall.

Inch of snow akroncanton and about 29 degrees as well. Mostly cloudy and chilly and 34 the high. A break tomorrow night and then saturday we will deal with another one. Futureview is going to say this will be a mix of rain and snow. But a temperature at 38 that could happen especially south of cleveland. Light snow here saturday night and a first alert saturday for snow possibly mixing in with rin and it wont cause big problems. I have an alert for that.
