How could that be? She voted against the low-income housing project! Oh, wait -- do the math: 7 members on the commission, 4 votes required to overturn the previous rejection. Hockenberry is one vote, so only three more needed. So they don't need to worry about Ruth Rodgers and they can gain some credibility (?) by not completely stacking the deck -- just 3 out of 4.
