If you want to see perps locked up, don’t count on Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo as governor signed off on “reforms” that sent crime soaring, and now he’s giving New Yorkers fair warning: He still stands by them, because the no-bail law “righted a terrible wrong.” Translation: If you want to see perps locked up, don’t count on Cuomo. “We were putting people in Rikers, in jail, who hadn’t been found guilty of anything just because they couldn’t make bail,” Cuomo claimed Sunday . Wealthy defendants could make bail and get released, he argued, while others, who couldn’t, remained locked up. False: Judges always took a person’s wealth into consideration when setting...

Cuomo doubles down on bail reform during NYC mayor’s race: ‘Righted a terrible social wrong’

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo stood by the Empire State’s controversial bail reforms Sunday, telling reporters after a mayoral campaign stop at a Harlem church that, “It righted a terrible social wrong.” Cuomo, 67, has become the front-runner since throwing his hat into the race to unseat Mayor Eric Adams, playing largely on his performance during his 11 years as the state’s chief executive — including the criminal justice reforms that lawmakers passed on his watch. “Some people raised issues about not having enough judicial discretion in that bill,” the ex-governor said after speaking at Mount Neboh Baptist Church. “That...

RFK Jr. must release the truth about Andrew Cuomo’s deadly COVID nursing-home order

Now that Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor, local Republicans in Congress are demanding clarity on whether the then-gov’s deadly COVID-19 nursing-home order violated federal guidelines; Health Secretary Robert Kennedy should comply. Rep. Mike Lawler & Co. want answers on behalf of the families whose elderly loved ones died as the result of a “reckless directive” that forced “ill-prepared nursing-home facilities” to accept COVID-positive patients kicked out of hospitals. The virus ran wild in the care homes, taking 15,000 lives. Barry Diller backs Andrew Cuomo’s bid for NYC mayor out of ‘gratitude’ for supporting real estate project: report It...

Dems push to pump brakes on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ‘nearly impossible’ electric truck rule

State Democratic lawmakers are trying to pump the brakes on the Hochul administration’s “nearly impossible” green-energy rule requiring more new large trucks to be emissions-free. The proposal, pushed by state Sen. Jeremy Coney Cooney (D-Rochester) and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Binghamton), would postpone the start of the Democratic governor’s edict until at least Jan. 1, 2027. Hochul’s recent “Advanced Clean Trucks” rule requires manufacturers of vehicles greater than 8,500 pounds to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles in New York, starting with a 7% zero emissions sales percentage in 2025 and ramping up every model year through 2035, to...
