My home town has lost its mayor, D. Michael Collins, today, as he passed away from a sudden cardiac arrest he suffered last Sunday while driving during the heavy snow we were having that day. Two passers by stopped and administered CPR, and he was taken to a local hospital. The prognosis was not good, and he died today. The city is currently in negotiations with Fiat/Chrysler as to the fate of Wrangler production, as the CEO has hinted that it may be moving due to their desire to switch Wranglers to an aluminum intensive platform. Fiat/Chrysler says they would replace any lost production with a different car line, but the mayors office, the UAW and others want the Wrangler to remain in Toledo, as it is such a strong seller that it's loss would be a blow to the city, where it's been built for damn near its entire product life. I hope that the acting mayor, who is the city council president, acts for the best interest of the city, and tries to keep Jeep in Toledo, but doesn't give away everything to another corporate giant.
Rest in piece, mayor.

I go to college at BGSU. I've been following this story all week on the local news. From what I had seen he appeared to be a great guy. Very sad.
