and housing plan, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie announced separately Thursday.
“Everything is on the table, you’re gonna hear me say that a lot,” she added. “That’s why I’m saying we’re in the middle of the middle.” During his own Thursday afternoon news briefing in the state Capitol, Heastie said discussions around Hochul’s bid to tweak the bail laws by eliminating the “least restrictive standard” and the details of her plan requiring municipalities to meet housing production targets are the main issues holding up the budget.
Stewart-Cousins said that it’s important to keep the “integrity” of the 2019 reforms — preventing those charged with low-level crimes from having to languish in jail simply because they don’t have enough money to post bail — while also “clarifying” judges’ discretion.
