BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Several members of the Buffalo Common Council are voicing opposition to the selection process for capital projects in the city and are threatening to vote against the 2026 capital budget unless projects from their districts are included.
"I will not vote for that capital budget unless it includes at least one project from each Council member," said Masten District Councilwoman Zeneta Everhart on Wednesday, expressing frustration that none of her proposed community projects were included on the recommended funding list.
The controversy centers around how the city prioritizes community improvement projects and which neighborhoods receive funding for infrastructure needs.
