Interview With an Honest Statesman Who Would’ve Made a Fantastic President

Kucinich’s tenure as mayor is often regarded as one of the most tumultuous in Cleveland’s history.^[21][22]

After Kucinich refused to sell Municipal Light (now Cleveland Public Power), Cleveland’s publicly owned electric utility, the Cleveland mafia sought to murder him in a contract killing.
