BREAKING NEWS--Former Insurance Commissioner Jim Long has Collapsed; Taken to Hospital

I'm listening to the NC General Assembly audio feed of the Joint Select Committee on the Potential Impact of Major Hurricanes on the NC Insurance Industry, and they have just announced that Jim Long, former NC Insurance Commissioner has collapsed and has been taken to the hospital.

Please keep him and his wife in your prayers.
