Gov. Kathy Hochul's uphill budget battle after fellow Democrats nixed judge pick
“During her campaign, Gov. Hochul dismissed crime concerns as a ‘conspiracy.’ Now she suddenly seems to be interested in improving public safety,” said Assembly Minority Leader William Barclay .
People on both sides of the aisle are wondering how such vagueness might translate into actual legislative language that might placate critics who say judges need more discretion to jail people ahead of their trials if they threaten public safety or have been accused of multiple crimes. We will do things based on data,” Stewart-Cousins told reporters earlier this week. “We also did what we did because … People were being charged – not convicted – and accused of minor misdemeanors, nonviolent felonies and winding up incarcerated because they cannot pay the bail and so we never, never, never wanted to criminalize poverty.
Republican former Gov. George Pataki said changing bail reform is of paramount importance for Hochul asserting her dominance over left-leaning legislators.Assemblyman Jarrett Gandolfo said such ideas are “Long Island’s devil” while claiming that the $250 million Hochul has floated to help localities boost housing would not even be enough for his South Shore-based district.
Democratic legislators, meanwhile, are keeping an eye on the extent to which Hochul sticks to her housing and climate change proposals alongside other priorities like funding for the MTA and child care – as well as details on how she wants to create a new subsidy to spur housing development in New York City“More psych beds, more funding for diversion courts, more supportive housing,” state Sen. Jessica Ramos , who was among the progressives who voted against LaSalle last week, said.
