State Sen. Liz Krueger said there's little appetite in the Legislature for watering down bail reformsState Sen. Liz Krueger said there's little appetite in the Legislature for watering down bail reformsState Sen. Liz Krueger threw cold water on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent proposal to again change state bail laws and allow judges to apply a “dangerousness standard” when considering bail for suspects.
“I do not believe that the Legislature thinks that the problems we are dealing with are related to the changes we made in bail reform," she said. But Krueger and criminal justice advocates say the spike in crime is happening nationwide and is unrelated to the bail changes. “We have been proposing and even begging the city and the state to expand the number of residential psychiatric beds available,” Krueger said. "Expand the types of shelter beds that are targeted to those who are suffering the most — the safe haven model shelters.”
