31. He put the city in default when he refused to privatize the
city power company.

31-year-old Dennis Kucinich became the youngest-ever mayor of a major American city when he was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1977. A feisty liberal Democrat from a blue-collar background, Kucinich soon made waves by refusing to sell the city's municipal electric system to private competitors during a budget crisis, thereby pushing the city into temporary bankruptcy. (Though it was a controversial move at the time, saving the "Muny" has since become a positive cornerstone of Kucinich's image.)
