Albany-the last minute impulse of Governor Kathy Hochul to take energetic measures against the public mask wing seems to be on the skates of the state legislature, since it makes Virtualy not an effort to publicly advocate the problem.
Hochul has been a mother despite proposing a bill in the state budget that would allow people to be penalized for “masking harassment” for harassing or threatening someone or a group of people in public while using a face cover.
The proposal, which did not reach the ban for decades, before the CO-COVID-19, is effectively dead, state senators said to the post last week.
The president of the Assembly, Carl Hheastie (D-Bronx) also acknowledged that only half of the Democrats in his chamber are aboard Hochul’s bill.
“Sometimes you try to build a better mice trap. Maybe there is a different way of trying to address the problem of the mask, and we are still trying to work on that,” said Heastie.
Despite requesting a prohibition last year in the midst of a series of anti -Semitic attacks, the policy was absent from the priorities of the state of the state of Hochul for the year, but it was reduced to the budget conversations behind the closed Doens.
“This is one that I decided to wait,” Hochul told journalists two weeks ago while the conversations were just beginning, saying that their lack of public defense on the subject is a strategy.
“I have different strategies. You can look at the years beyond the issues that have emerged later and have a leg success.”
Hochul has the tasks of a tactic very different from his proposal to reform the state laws that govern how evidence is shared in criminal cases, sending District prosecutors to Stump for their launch to journalists three days in a row this week.
Manhattan da Alvin Bragg and Queens gives Melinda Katz told journalists who agreed that the State needs to take energetic measures against people who use masks with the sole purpose of avoiding detection by the police, but Avoid weighs the proposal of Mask of Hochul.
“I have seen in my practice everything from shootings to much less serious crimes, masking has subverted our ability to resolve crime,” said Bragg.
Katz said: “People who are victims of those often cannot obtain justice because someone is hiding their face while committing a crime.”
Then it was a step further, arguing that prosecutors are well in a difficult place when trying to draw a line between some point is to protest and when their speech could be characterized as a threat, thus understanding the proposed mask law.
“From the prosecutor’s perspective, when we get involved, that has an extremely problematic leg for us,” Katz said.
Duration The appearance of Covid-19 pandemic, Albany rejected a prohibition of decades to take a public mask that had existed for almost a hundred years for concern for public health orders.
The mask restriction bill was first proposed by the assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz (D-Bronx) and state senator James Skoufis (D-Orange) last year, but has not yet left the committee in any of the Chamber.
The proponents to restore the ban include the NAACP and the anti-defamation league, but face the resistance of groups such as the Union of Civil Liberties of New York.
The state budget negotiations are Ons Hochul and the legislature remains stagnant in the other policy elements that Hochul is trying to take to the expenses plan.
Hochul and legislative leaders with Thursday for the first time since last Saturday, while rank legislators went home during the weekend. They are scheduled to return on Tuesday after the current extension of funds to maintain the open state.
