## Resource

Barberton councilman Monte Harris has resigned immediately, citing a toxic political environment and lack of integrity among fellow officials as his main reasons. He called council meetings a “complete circus” and said the focus had shifted from serving residents to personal agendas. Harris, who entered office with a mission to fix the city, now fears Barberton is headed in the wrong direction without strong leadership. He thanked constituents and hinted at more to come.
