This is sad.  25 years is a long time. It will be a true loss no matter the reason.

The comments on this article are sad, immature, and unkind.  He IS a public official which is why his office is releasing a statement, but to pick at his and her mistakes/character is lame. NBC should not have open commenting on this piece.  Pay it forward people, be kind, and do some good in the world!

Well another thing the mayor can not fix and has to be torn down typical. ok two things here one who is getting the better end of the deal here i think it is the wife and two who is going to be sleeping in the new park soon to be where the city center mall is, i am guessing the mayor is at least i hope so but you have to love this it sure is sweet irony though when you think about it and why is that simple the mayor can,t run a city because the only thing he knows how to do is tear down instead of building up and helping the city become a better place to live well i guess that is true in his personal life as well god i can,t wait till nov 2010 asta la vista baby i can,t wait i love it

And they seemed so happy, what a shame. I remember them standing outside their half burned down house, twice. Him picking her up from Bexley PD after bumper cars through Bexley. They withstood the numerous rumors of his infidelities with cabinet members and the completely unrecognized child out of wedlock.
I wish them both the best.  Hopefully Frankie has an attorney who can find all that money Mike was squirreling away for their retirement.  Good luck to both of them.  They were such a great first couple for Columbus.

Coleman wanted more time to focus on raising taxes and his former wife wanted more time to drink and drive.
