Edited sentence: Businessman Kevin Burke was elected the city’s Mayor in 2003 and vowed to make cleaning up the city’s image and notorious smell one of his administration’s top priorities.Duke Bennett was elected Mayor in late 2007, but Bennett's election was subsequently challenged by the losing incumbent, Kevin Burke, based on an alleged violation of the "Little Hatch Act" by Bennett(the violation of which would have made Bennett ineligible for office).Former Mayor Burke filed suit, and following a bench trial, the trial court rejected Burke's challenge and declared Bennett elected as the qualified candidate who received the highest number of votes.The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for a new election.The Indiana Supreme Court then unanimously affirmed the trial court's confirmation of Bennett's election as Mayor on June 16, 2009.The current Mayor is Duke Bennett.The offensive odors that plagued the City were primarily emitted from a coal tar creosote railroad tie manufacturing facility, a waste water treatment facility, and a paper plant
