When he was mayor of Cleveland in the late 1970s, Dennis Kucinich fought against the private takeover of the city's public-owned power company. Later, banks that would have benefited from a partnership with the company that would have taken over the utility drove the city into default.
Later, Kucinich was defeated in his re-election bid and he found himself blackballed in trying to find another job. He applied for a position to head the Emerald People's Utility District outside Eugene.
