A statement by Assemblyman Chris Tague (R,C,I,Ref-Schoharie) on Assembly Speaker Carl Heasties position on bail reform.

Im stunned by the Speakers stubbornness on this. But thats New York Majority politicians for you, instead of keeping everyone up in Albany while the Legislature was in session and fixing or fully repealing the disastrous bail reform laws they sent everyone home.
Now, were still at risk of someone getting hurt or killed, and Speaker Heastie and the governor are doing absolutely nothing about it.
You heard it here folks, the Majority dont care that you and your familys lives are at risk. Lets hope that to paraphrase the speaker, giving the laws more time doesnt cost someone their life or livelihood.
