NY’s Governor Declares Nation’s First Disaster Emergency Over Gun Violence

July 7, 2021 by helpdesk1

New York’s governor yesterday declared the nation’s first disaster emergency over gun violence here in the state. Andrew Cuomo said gun violence is a public health crisis, and it must be treated as such. Cuomo said with this executive order, the state will work with local governments to help them assess and roll out the reform plans they developed through the Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative…

A big part of the problem, according to Stony Point and Orange County Assemblyman Colin Schmitt, is the bail reform package that remains law in the state…

The governor wants to spend nearly $139 million in intervention and prevention programs, including those that provide at-risk youth summer jobs and community activity programs to get them off the streets. It also supports on-going gun violence prevention programs.
