Kathy Hochul vowed to work with the Legislature \u2014 even as lawmakers are working to derail her nominee for chief judge. In short, she\u2019s yet to show even a hint of fight. <\/p>\n<p>She showed she\u2019d heard <em>voters\u2019<\/em> concerns about crime, saying, \u201cPublic safety is my top priority.\u201d But her only concrete proposals for fixing bail reform are more minor fiddles, not anything dramatic like allowing judges to consider \u201cdangerousness\u201d as they do in every other state. <\/p>\n<p>Worse, in a naked bid to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ease progressives, she insisted that bail reform is <em>not <\/em>the primary driver of crime before saying she wants to \u201chave a thoughtful conversation during the budget process about improvements we can make to the law.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a <em>hint <\/em>that she <em>might <\/em>hold lawmakers\u2019 spending desires hostage to getting real changes, but then she detailed minor ones to give judges a <em>little <\/em>more discretion to  remand defendants accused of serious crimes.  <\/p>\n<p>Yes, \u201cdangerousness\u201d is a red flag for the Legislature\u2019s progressives; that\u2019s one reason why Mayor Eric Adams has recently focused on asking lawmakers to simply get tougher on the handful of repeat offenders driving crime. But Hochul didn\u2019t raise the issue.<\/p>\n<p>No: On crime, the best <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> she offered was a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ling of aid to the state\u2019s 62 district attorney offices to help them handle the huge added costs (under the \u201cdiscovery\u201d changes enacted along with the no-bail law) of prosecuting every defendant, even those destined for a plea bargain.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>She\u2019s also looking in the right direction with her $1 billion plan targeting the most serious mental illness, including restoring lost inpatient psychiatric beds and even adding 1,000 beds statewide (though only 150 for the five boroughs) as well as 3,400 units of supportive housing to foster outpatient care. <\/p>\n<p>Another plus: With a recession in the offing, she vowed no hike in income taxes this year. That\u2019ll mean a fight, as legislators are talking about finding $40 billion in new tax revenue. But it shows she understands the \u201cwhy\u201d behind the population loss she wants to reverse. <\/p>\n<p>Or does she? Hochul then squashed hopes for an improved business climate by proposing to peg New York\u2019s $15 minimum wage to inflation. That remark brought Democrats to their feet. And her anti-carbon \u201cclimate\u201d policies will never build business confidence no matter how much she pretends they will magically lower energy bills. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, she didn\u2019t make any promises about ensuring the \u201ctemporary\u201d income-tax hikes passed in 2021 (under the last guy) will actually expire, when temporary hikes have a long habit of becoming permanent in this state.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/kathy-hochul-2-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Hochul claimed that \u201cpublic safety is my top priority&quot; and gave proposals to fix bail reform laws.\" class=\"wp-image-25314868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/kathy-hochul-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/kathy-hochul-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/kathy-hochul-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hochul claimed that \u201cpublic safety is my top priority\u201d and gave proposals to fix bail reform laws.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Hans Pennink<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oh, and as Citizens\u2019 Budget Commission chief Andrew Rein noted, \u201cThe State of the State presented an expansive menu [of new spending]. We now await the Executive Budget to see the bill.\u201d Where will she find the revenue?<\/p>\n<p>Her goal of getting 800,000 new homes built over the next decade seems fine, but her address failed to mention one key means to that: replacing the city\u2019s 421-a tax credit to make it affordable for builders to construct anything besides luxury complexes. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, that made it into her longer policy handout, but that hardly suggests she\u2019ll go to the mat for it. <\/p>\n<p>Even though her audience theoretically included the whole state, Hochul seemed exclusively determined not to offend the lawmakers hearing her in-person. Yet she\u2019s going to have to if she\u2019s to get even what she\u2019s asking for outright.<\/p>\n<p>That is, she\u2019ll need to at the very least rally moderate Democratic state senators to back her: They actually <em>outnumber <\/em>the chamber\u2019s progressives, yet the hard left is calling the shots so far in the LaSalle nomination, and plainly intends to keep doing so. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats lost seats in the Legislature last fall, but the left pretends that\u2019s all Hochul\u2019s fault for not somehow doing better against Republican challenger Lee Zeldin \u2014 though all he did was hit hard on the issues of crime and the economy. Progressives refuse to see what changes the voters want.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul opted to skirt that reality once again in her closing: \u201cEleanor Roosevelt once said, \u2018You . . . who are going to build a new world must go forward with courage.\u2019 We will build a new world. And we will be courageous.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>All that did was leave everyone wondering when New York\u2019s governor will show that courage.\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.
