He was a philanthropist. He was a capitalist. He actually created wealth. He was the total opposite of our popular president who wants to do the total opposite. Maybe we can name a tax after Ritter. Maybe we can name a cow-methane farm after Gore. Maybe we can name a soup kitchen after Obama.

In most any other city of our class the public areas near the capitol are neatly groomed and attract tourist. Ours is the best place to score drugs and stumble upon an used needle. There are crappers near the Greek theater area, mobs of stoners and alcoholics and sadly sometimes children with their parent who is there to buy. Breaks my heart. I'm glad to see the reporter mentioned the so called McNichols building was actually a Carnegie Library. I so strongly feel that public buildings should never be named after politicians. It made me ill when the city named David Owen Tryba's building after Webb. Web was a shameless self-promoter. You do not see Mayor Hick's photo and name plastered all over public projects. I remember seeing a poster "This project brought to you by Wellington Webb”. As though he was paying for it out of his own pocket. Arrogance and cronyism. Well done article!
