"Your family is my fight," Hochul vowed as she pushed various initiatives that sound good on paper. But don't be fooled. Yes, her proposed tax cuts are better than nothing, but they're far too small and limited."
Facing public fury over dangerous mentally ill people plaguing the streets and subways, the gov calls for an expansion of involuntary commitment and strengthening Kendra's law, which mandates treatment. Yet her past clashes with lawmakers suggest she won't win meaningful fixes there, either.
On crime, she's singing a new tune - unlike when she nearly lost the 2022 election after claiming it wasn't an issue. 'The chaos must end,' she now huffs. She's promising more cops on subways and wants judges to 'stop the rinse-and-repeat cycle of offenders being released.'
To end recidivism and drive crime down, she needs to deliver major fixes to the laws fueling crime - cashless bail, Raise the Age, etc. And she won't touch those with a 10-foot pole.
