Asm. Pirozzolo On Gov. Hochul’s State Of the State: This Is Year Of Accountability?
This Is The Year of Accountability?
Gov. Hochul and Albany Socialists continue to fail New Yorkers. Crime is rampant, education is hitting all-time lows, and our economy is in a continuous downward spiral. While our governor dreams of solutions, she lacks the political fortitude to stand up to the woke agenda of the left, which has been the catalyst for the despair New York is facing.
From shoplifting to housing to overwhelming debt, if our state continues to ignore the policies that have facilitated the degradation we bear witness to now, it will only worsen, regardless of how much time or funding is thrown at these problems.
Additionally, the rise in crime continues to cripple us, and unless New York begins to hold criminals accountable with serious penalties, they will be further incentivized to continue. While Hochul is prioritizing politically motivated legislation, I will focus on policy that makes New York a place where people want to live, instead of leave.
This session must come with a reckoning of accountability and rationality or we can’t move forward as a state.
