Concerns Raised Over New York's Budget and Safety Measures

The recently announced budget has been criticized for its perceived failure to adequately protect the safety of New Yorkers. This concern was voiced by a number of individuals and organizations, who believe that the budget does not put enough emphasis on security measures.

Governor Hochul's Strategy Called into Question

Senator Robert Ortt, among others, has expressed skepticism regarding Governor Kathy Hochul's strategy to combat retail theft. According to Ortt, the Governor's approach, which involves the establishment of a task force and the allocation of significant funds towards the issue, may not be the most effective solution.

Is Throwing Money at the Problem the Answer?

Ortt's comments highlight a common concern: that simply throwing money at a problem does not necessarily resolve it. Critics argue that a more comprehensive and strategic approach may be needed to effectively tackle the issue of retail theft and ensure the safety of New Yorkers.

In conclusion, the debate over New York's budget and safety measures continues. Is the current strategy the best way to protect the safety of New Yorkers?
