STATEMENT FROM SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER ROB ORTT

Albany Democrats today quadrupled down on their pro-criminal, anti-victim, and anti-law enforcement policies by ordering the blanket release of hundreds of criminals with their “less is more” law.

Under One-Party Rule, violent crime has been on the rise across the state. It began with Democrats’ so-called “bail reform” in 2019 - and it will undoubtedly become worse with this new law signed today.

Aside from the fact that New York will once again favor criminals over victims, perhaps the most frightening element is that this law was actually written in-part by a convicted killer. By signing this bill into law, Albany Democrats are saying “less is more” means less criminals behind bars, and more victims as a result.
