New York City desperately needs a renewal of mayoral control and a tax-code fix to allow for non-luxury housing construction before the Legislature quits for the year in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Gov. Kathy Hochul is laser-focused on . . . protecting abortion rights in a state that already guarantees them practically through to birth. <\/p>\n<p>Hochul\u2019s big ideas include writing abortion rights into the state Constitution (actually, starting the  at-least-two-year process to pass an amendment) and setting aside $35 million to financially support abortion providers if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>And never mind that New York providers won\u2019t need help, since again nothing will change in this state, whatever the high court does. If anything, they\u2019ll see an increase in business \u2014 and will have no trouble financing any expansion, though Hochul means to send them $25 million for it anyway. <\/p>\n<p>No doubt the gov will also sign off on state Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Letitia James\u2019 push for the taxpayers to fund \u201cfree abortions for all,\u201d especially, low-income out-of-state women and illegal migrants.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Shooting-3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Person shot at 350 W. 37th St. in Manhattan.&#10;\" class=\"wp-image-22233994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Shooting-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Shooting-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Shooting-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>It\u2019s clear Kathy Hochul has forgotten about addressing crime in New York after state budget talks.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">William C. Lopez<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oh, Hochul &amp; Co. are also eyeing a state constitutional amendment to protect gay marriage, supposedly fearing that the Supremes <em>might <\/em>reverse that decision, too. (Reality check: \u201cRight wing\u201d Justice Neil Gorsuch <em>wrote<\/em> the last decision expanding gay rights, and got Chief Justice John Roberts\u2019 vote for it, too.)<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The most charitable motive we can attribute to Hochul is a desire to win positive headlines in The New York Times, which largely ignores state politics but can\u2019t resist the culture wars. After all, she\u2019s got primary and general elections to win this year. <\/p>\n<p>But any need for political pandering (and endless fund-raisers) is no excuse for dodging her duties. She already lost her <em>best <\/em>chance to start turning New York around when she caved to Legislature\u2019s tax- and spending-hiking budget without winning serious fixes to the criminal-justice \u201creforms\u201d that are fueling crime statewide. <\/p>\n<p>But she should be still pushing for basics like the city\u2019s affordable-housing tax break, along with whatever else she can get on crime. (Especially when New York\u2019s pro-crime attitudes just kept yet <em>another <\/em>perp out of jail, free to allegedly shoot a cop.)<\/p>\n<p>Most New Yorkers want a governor who\u2019ll fight for them, not one pandering on an issue that\u2019s irrelevant in their state.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
