What do you do to remember a billionaire who created thousands of jobs in the city and spread millions of dollars around to various charities? What if that same guy gave generously to a group that pushed the passage of one of the country's harshest anti-gay ordinances, hung out with the folks responsible for the saving and loan crisis in the 1990s and once ran a company that hired brutal Colombian paramilitary groups to protect its crops? Maybe name a street after him. Mayor John Cranley has proposed naming Third Street in Cincinnati "Carl H. Lindner Way" and hopes to have it pass Cincinnati City Council on Wednesday.
