“My Minority colleagues and I for years have been speaking out about out-migration and public safety issues, I am glad to see Gov. Hochul shares our concerns.

Lastly, if we want to improve public safety, let’s get our law enforcement and criminal justice professionals involved in the discussion who were left out of the conversation when bail reform was first devised. With everyone’s input, I think the governor would be surprised by the improvements we can make.
