Assemblyman Jarett Gandolfo (R,C,I-Sayville) was joined by Assembly and Senate Minority members today, calling for a return to law and order in New York state. Gandolfo argues that the rise in crime rates in heavily populated areas, coupled with an inane focus on allowing reoffenders out repeatedly, is counterintuitive to creating a safe state.

“New York has seen a surge of crime, thanks to progressive lawmakers trying to seem tolerant rather than protecting our citizens,” Gandolfo said. “The state’s gun violence deaths alone have increased over the last five years by 60.1%, according to our Division of Criminal Justice Services. We need to repeal bail reform and once again empower local law enforcement to do their job of protecting our communities.”
