Pete Witte Searches For Next Bad Idea
By Burt Safer | Dealer staff writer    Mon, Apr 21, 2008
 

petewitteCINCINNATI - It has been a week since Pete Witte's last bad idea, and he is searching for new ones.

"In 2008, I'm on a roll," said Witte, "First, I sided with the housing agency in their refusal to transfer an abused woman, then I suggested that we run a streetcar line from Uptown to Bond Hill, and another streetcar from Westwood to Mount Washington."

"My latest idea of Section 8 housing at the Banks was a fantastically bad idea, but now I'm got the itch for another really bad idea."

Part of the benefit of Witte's bad ideas is that they get more attention than good ideas, especially supremely bad ideas like Witte has had this year.  Who knows, the next bad idea may even earn him a quotable on the Pete Witte ThinkExist quotables page.
