The town I live in just elected its first new mayor in 44 years. What got the four and a half decade incumbent voted out? Too much growth. Ironically it may have been the large number of new residents, not beholden to the old guard, that did him in. With no scandals over that time period, it's hard to complain about someone serving eleven terms but it also makes it difficult to change course because the intention of the old mayor was to keep on keeping on.
