A war of words between two New York City Council members is now highlighting attendance records at city council meetings.

Bronx Council Member Oswald Feliz posted to X last week and pointed out Brooklyn Council Member Chi Ossé's attendance record.

According to the independent database Intro.NYC, Ossé has missed four legislative meetings this year -- the worst of 51 city council members.

The data also showed Ossé missed 22 committee meetings (67.6% or 46 out of 68 meetings); a percentage only slightly higher than Feliz, who missed 32 committee meetings (67.3% or 66 out of 98 meetings).

To put that into perspective, Ossé and Feliz ranked sixth and fifth, respectively, when it came to the worst committee meeting attendance.

Ossé took to X on Monday and wrote, "I've been traveling across New York State fighting to take over ConEd to lower our energy bills! I promise I'll be back soon xo."

A spokesperson for Ossé sent News 12 the following statement: "Council Member Ossé has been working tirelessly to make New York more affordable. This week, he's traveling across the state to engage communities in the fight for lower energy bills. From Bed-Stuy to Buffalo, he's stopping at nothing to confront the crises harming on our neighbors."

News 12 also reached out to Feliz's office for comment and has not yet heard back.
