that included a rollback of some of the bail-law reform, but lawmakers would have needed to approve it, and legislative leaders from her own party responded with a simple answer: no.
“They are going to have the majority no matter what happens to us,” one Long Island lawmaker said. “So they couldn’t give a shit about us.” “Bail reform and crime became synonymous in the minds of many voters, and someone has to pay the price for it,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran Democratic consultant. “Kathy Hochul gets the blame because the legislature is unassailable.”
“We can continue with the status quo where they believe they haven’t passed enough pro-criminal laws,” Zeldin said last week at their only debate. “Or we can take control of our destiny and make sure law-abiding New Yorkers are in charge of our streets again.” He accused the governor of championing “catch-and-release policies.”
