I would like to say that an era ended in Harrisburg yesterday on Election Day. Mayor Steven Reed was defeated. Now, I suppose some would say it is time for new blood and time for old Steve to "move on".
Over the past few years, he was criticized for trying to make more cultural places in Harrisburg., which of course would cost a lot of money. It was the story of the good child that does a few bad things and the only things that are noticed are the bad ones. All the good he did over his years of service seemed to be put into the back bin.
Steve Reed has been Mayor of Harrisburg since 1981. I moved here in 1991. I have seen so much improvement since I moved here within this city. I hear longer residents tell stories of what it was like before Steve "cleaned up the city", and I can't imagine.
No politician is perfect. As a matter of fact, the person who defeated Steve is tagged as being very negative. She will have VERY BIG shoes to fill and apparently she thinks she is up to it. All I have to say is that it is a sad day for Harrisburg.
