Politicians are never far from controversy, and local government is no exception. From Detroit's Kwame Kilpatrick to D.C.'s Marion Barry, we take a look at the outrageous mayoral scandals that have made headlines over the years.

For those who want to cut to the chase, the mayors featured are:

Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit, MI (Democrat)

Sam Adams, Portland, OR (Democrat)

Marion Barry, Waahington, DC (Democrat)

Bob Levy, Atlantic City, NJ (was Republican, switched to Democrat)

James E. West, Spokane, WA (Republican)

Vincent "Buddy" Cianci, Providence, RI (was Republican, switched to Independent)

John F. Street, Philadelphia, PA (Democrat)

Sharpe James, Newark, NJ (Democrat)

Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles, CA (Democrat)

Peter Cammarano, Hoboken, NJ (Democrat)

Dennis Elwell, Secaucus, NJ (Democrat)

Anthony R. Suarez, Ridgefield, NJ (Democrat)

None of the descriptions included political party affiliation (what a surprise). I confirmed party affiliations through various bio sites.

How long before the politicians, mostly demonrats but RINOS too will suggest that pot be legalized and dispensed by the government.
