A spokesperson for Hochul, however, pointed right back at the Legislature, questioning whether lawmakers were truly close on a housing agreement. Already, the Senate passed 430 bills between Monday and Wednesday alone, while the Assembly approved 196. Some of the biggest votes, however, are yet to come.
Tony Jordan, president of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York, faulted the bill for treating crimes like manslaughter or vehicular homicide the same way it would treat someone who stole a credit card in their youth. Neither bill would have any effect on Brooklyn-Queens Day, the longstanding day off for some New York City school students.
