[edit] Apparent vandalism

I removed this portion:

Luken also has a twin brother named Pete Luken who works for a local university. Reportedly, his brother Pete has expressed interest in displaying his children's drawings on the walls of his cubicle. As of yet, however, no decision has been made.

[edit] Irrelevant Information

I am removing this portion because the story of the mayoral race after Luken's last term is irrelevant to his biography/article:

The election race for his successor was narrowed down to two candidates after the primary run: first-term councilman David Pepper (son of John Pepper, the charismatic, former CEO of Procter & Gamble, which is one of the largest employers of the Cincinnati area) and Mark Mallory, a member of the state Senate. With the previous election following the city's racial divides so closely, the race of the candidates - Pepper is white, Mallory is black - was considered significant. Both candidates were members of the Ohio Democratic Party. Mallory was elected Luken's successor on November 8, 2005.
