President Barack Obama’s budget proposal is raising the stakes. Her alleged efforts to change New York’s problematic bail reform rules have been denied by legislative leaders. He proposed permanent take-out alcoholic beverages and reorganising the state’s dysfunctional ethics commission. Democratic legislators like Hochul. Speaker Carl Heastie said the decision was not an attack on the governor.
On March 14, Heastie indicated she wasn’t trying to communicate with Governor Hochul. “All they want is a budget.” However, a leaked governor’s letter, first reported by the New York Post, would revise the state’s 2019 bail reform laws, which barred most cash bail.
A dangerous offender can be held without bail pending trial, says Hochul A cash payment may be required to release someone before trial for some accusations, including all gun-related offences. If someone is charged with a crime and released without bond, they must post bail or face incarceration until trial.

But Heastie and Stewart-Cousins fought for bail reform. Both leaders are black and cited data suggesting that black New Yorkers were more likely than whites to be held in pretrial custody. Senate Leader Stewart-Cousins said opponents of bail reform are using the laws as a scapegoat.
Stewart-Cousins said the Senate wants to fund mental health and anti-gun trafficking initiatives. The Senate Leader called New York the safest city in America. Groups opposed the governor’s intentions. No evidence-based or likely to reduce crime or recidivism, according to the NIJ. According to the governor’s spokeswoman, Hazel Crampton-Hays, she does not negotiate in public.
One of the governor’s main goals may not be addressed in the budget. She said the state’s liquor distributors may have to wait until the end of the session.
