Lots of goodbyes at @CMReggieHarris last council meeting as he resigns to take a job with HUD. Harris has been in office for almost three years.

It is hard to measure the past two years and nine months in office, but I am proud of the work, relationships, and impact I have made here in Cincy. I know my future will be in public service, that's my calling, and I look forward to now serving Americans all across the country.
