Behzod said: Genesis Home Executive Director Ryan Fehrman also supported the idea that the city government should build new housing units for the disabled people with low income. He criticized Councilwoman Cora Cole-McFadden for not making immediate commitment for this cause.
Fehrman did not like the Councilwoman's position towards the issue when she first wanted to know the view of the mayor before making her own decision.
Article seems to support Cole-McFadden by saying that Councilwoman has one vote, and she can not promise much without the support of the Mayor.
