Gov. Kathy Hochul is now proposing a sweeping public safety package including changes that will make more crimes bail eligible in New York after weeks of being accused of ignoring the city and state’s crime wave, The Post has learned.

The 10-point plan, obtained by The Post, includes a measure that would give judges more discretion to order bail and detain criminal defendants for a host of additional crimes based on their criminal history, including repeat offenders.

“For offenses that are not currently subject to arrest, police will have the ability (though not the requirement) to deny a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) and arrest an individual who has previously received a DAT within eighteen months. All second offenses within a certain period of time will be bail-eligible,” reads a copy of Hochul’s memo, which she’ll negotiate to include in her $216 billion budget proposal due April 1.

Do something but don’t solve the problem.

Not good enough: discharge the Soros DA’s; lock-up repeat offenders; stop holding blacks less accountable than whites; and crackdown on juvenile crime.

Democrats are criminals but with a steady job in politics.

NY is closing 6 prisons Thursday. What will it mean for local economies?

If they are elected, I don’t know if she can discharge them.

Update, and get a load of this...

Empire State Weekly: Budgeting for bail reform

Our legislature don't want no stinkin' reform of bail reform.

Everything's going swimmingly per our legislature.

Pssst...Neither does our #HeilHalfWit clone gov, but her handlers are smart enough to keep her from saying so in public.
