Most Americans in general. But bootlicker/I’ll be a millionaire one day really!!! types are going to do what they do.

It’s a good start, but they should add more rules around disclosing incentive, bonus, and stock compensation and force companies to tighten the ranges.

I have no faith anything will change. TPTB dont give a shit. They have no reason to. They are not traveling the subways, streets on thier own like us. It will never be thier problem. Most we get after a serious crime that makes the news is a PR statement about making change, that will never arrive. They continue to clown us all. Its sickening to think about really.

-4 lol soooooo majority didn’t vote them in? Huh

That is a great point. There is a lot of extra square feet to maintain and clean.

Violent Crime is down for the year , and mostly flat on all other stats . Zeldin had some good proposals but I don’t think he would have made a difference other than firing Bragg. If Albany makes these changes , they will avoid losing in the next election. Democrats are just doing the smart thing here , otherwise they will get wiped out if they can’t listen to the polls

lol

I mean is obvious that this is a policy that most New Yorkers and liberals in general support. I don’t get the point of people being a contrarian on this

I totally agree. Discovery needs to be kept, but it was a massive oversight to not provide the staffing and funding to make it feasible. Our court system has always been understaffed and underfunded and that alone has caused most of the delays and backlogs in the system. It's a shame.

It showed the first time offenders there is zero consequence consequence and turns them into 100th time offenders.

It’s all part of the green new deal - connect the revolving door of justice to a generator and it will power the entire state!

I put my larger thoughts in a comment below. I’m not saying get rid of it, tweak it and make money available for it.

Put the adults back in charge.

Crime as a whole rose nationally when it got decriminalized.

They should get the staff and funds. And keep discovery regardless because it's the right thing to do.

We need to get rid of bail bondsmen

1. they inflate the amount of bail necessary by a ridiculous amount

2. they keep their fee no matter what

Just set bail to be a sufficient amount to keep a person from running & return it all in full when they show up to court. There is no reason a person should pay a bail bondsmen 10k to cover their 500k bail.

Bail bondsmen shouldn't be picking up bail-jumpers either. That should be law enforcement's job.

TLDR

Bail is just supposed to ensure people show up to court & make it too expensive onerous to run.

It's not a fee for the privilege to waiting for trial outside jail.

We had our chance with Zeldin. He came so close, but a majority of voters would rather continue living under more crime than potentially be called racist. Also he wouldn't be trying to take away our natural gas heating and stoves, as an added bonus.

You can't just hand-wave away the will of a significant majority of all voters because they don't have NYU law degrees. Luckily it doesn't matter if you don't care what the majority of residents of this state want, we still live in a democracy and the majority rules.

Unions are only corrupt because of the outsized negotiating power granted to them by the politicians.

It's simple physics, though. If someone is locked in a secure box away from the general public, their ability to inflict injury upon said public drops to zero.

> I don't know that 2 years is enough to undo decades of terrible conservative policies.

We were never truly "tough on crime." It's time to try to Singapore model, enough is enough.

> We've tried the "tough on crime" and "War on Drugs" angle for 40+ years

And all we got to show for it is the lowest murder rate in almost a century.

I don't think you know what that means.
