You can't tell the history of Bridgeport without Jasper McLevy. Bridgeport's longest serving & only socialist mayor is well known for an incident of not plowing Bridgeport's streets, but his story is one of a lifetime of honest service to the city, in which he takes on and replaced corrupt administrations and political machines.
