Brooklyn Assemblymember Latrice Walker speaks at a rally at the state Capitol against changes to the state's bail reforms.Brooklyn Assemblymember Latrice Walker speaks at a rally at the state Capitol against changes to the state's bail reforms.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s 10-point plan to bolster public safety and roll back the state’s 2019 cash bail reform laws is going over poorly with the left flank of the state Legislature.
Among the measures included in the plan are legislative changes that would alter the cash bail reforms by giving judges more discretion to set bail for defendants that are a possible danger if allowed to go free, such as if they have a significant criminal history or own a firearm. She would also make it easier to arrest and set bail for people who commit multiple crimes in an 18-month period.
When a reporter asked why she wouldn’t make some sort of public presentation outlining her position, Hochul repeated her oft-uttered line: She does not negotiate in public. Hochul confirmed she is attempting to negotiate it into a final state budget agreement, which often includes policy proposals that have little to do with state spending.
