520 2 "Until his resignation in May 2015, Don Plusquellic had
been the mayor of Akron, Ohio, for twenty-eight years.
When he took office in 1987, Ronald Reagan was in the
White House, the average price for a car was a little over
$10,000, and later that year the US stock market would
drop over 22 percent in one day--at the time the sharpest
market downturn in the United States since the Great
Depression. This was a harbinger of things to come in
Akron as the Rubber Capital of the World hemorrhaged jobs.
In the 1980s, over 26,000 people were employed in the
plastics and rubber product manufacturing industries in
greater Akron. By 2007, the number had slipped to only 7,
220. The loss of jobs coincided with greater
suburbanization--a blow to the city's housing market.
Plusquellic was challenged with rebuilding a transforming
city. Using news sources and extensive interviews, Love
has crafted a superb political biography of the person
some have called Akron's Mayor for Life. Plusquellic
reinvented his job, erasing the line between public and
private efforts to provide employment in a reimagined
downtown and innovative Joint Economic Development
Districts beyond the city. He championed education for
future workers. Don Plusquellic won fast friends and eager
enemies with his silk-and-sandpaper personality. He became
one of the longer-serving and most-honored mayors in
America. His story is one of both place and person, the
son of a rubber worker who restored Akron's spirit and
belief in itself after the city lost its title of Rubber
Capital of the World"--Provided by publisher.
