You can vote against a bill and still be responsible for specific portions of it or how it gets distributed. You fight for your state and district to get their pork even if you disagree with slaughtering the pig.
Which is how Florida gets the second largest share of FEMA support (after Texas), despite its leaders voting against expanding FEMA's funding. It's as if they want to deprive others of the same kind of help they themselves benefit from.
That's silly. They don't want anyone to get it. It's their money as much as it is ours, so of course the reps should be fighting for their districts even if they hope the bill fails.
