“Across all of New York, residents are feeling the rise in inflation, they are witnessing a crime surge in areas that were once safe, hospitals staff shortages, and police officers not being recognized for their efforts. This is not the future I want for our great state that I once knew. Gov. Hochul gave promises today for brighter days ahead but lacked the urgency that these types of changes need to be made before we continue losing our residents to other states. I urge her to keep these crucial priorities in check to ease the burden on New Yorkers.”
