Help To Arrive From Denver
Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb comes to Cincinnati on Friday to lend some advice to Mark Mallory. The two met at the U.S. Conference of Mayors, where Webb offered to come.
"He's going to come and help me with some issues," Mallory said Tuesday. "He has an awful lot of experience and an awful lot of expertise. He's just a wealth of information."
Now president and CEO of the Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce, Webb was Denver's mayor from 1991 to 2003. He was the first African-American to hold that job. Before becoming mayor, he was a state representative, worked in the Cabinet of Gov. Dick Lamm and was city auditor.
Among the projects while Webb was mayor: a $300 million expansion of Denver's convention center; $4 billion new Denver International Airport; and the opening of foreign trade offices in London and Shanghai.

Isn't the current mayor of Denver named Hickenlooper, from the old Cincinnati family beginning with Civil War General Hickenlooper, buried in Spring Grove Cemetery?
