>Reading Mayor Calls For Council To Reconsider Opportunity House Vote
(Reading, PA) -- The Mayor of Reading is asking the City Council to change course after it voted against awarding federal funding to Opportunity House. The council denied the organization almost three-million-dollars to purchase an apartment building to help people get out of shelters. Mayor Eddie Moran urged the council to call a special meeting and approve the money, stating that it still has "time to do what is right." However, the council said earlier this week that it plans to find other projects for the funding.
