Earlier today, Governor Hochul delivered remarks at McMahon Ryan’s Go Blue 4 Kids Breakfast to highlight her commitment to preventing child abuse in New York State.
Governor Hochul: “Our budget is a little delayed right now because I’m fighting to make sure that when we have victims, and we have people who are accused, people need to go to jail – or be at least tried – that we don’t have cases thrown out on technicalities… We cannot have a system that victimizes the victims all over again when someone finally has the courage to come forward and tell their story, whether it’s a child or an adult, they tell their story.”
Hochul: “I’m not signing this budget until it includes common sense reforms to those laws. And my friends, I’m about to get that done, and we’re going to do it together.”
