Reply to comment by Neoliberalism2024 in New Yorkers overwhelmingly support bail changes ahead of state budget deadline: Poll by Grass8989

Only reason they care now, is the voters are fed up, and voting them out of office.

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.

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
