Despite their votes against the budget, Democratic socialist council members Caban, Aviles, and Hanif took credit for funding wins that the budget facilitated. This approach has drawn criticism as 'hilarious hypocrisy'.
Hanif claimed to have secured nearly $14 million for her district in a budget that she ultimately opposed, highlighting a disconnect between her rhetoric and voting record.
Aviles boasted about obtaining $1 million for a community organization, while failing to acknowledge the budget he opposed that allocated those funds.
Caban celebrated restored library funding, stating that her efforts won, yet she failed to mention her dissenting vote against the budget that made such funding possible.
