Senator Tedisco, Sheriff Giardino Call on Governor, Legislature to Repeal Bail Reform Now!

Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C,I,REF-Glenville,) and Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino  continued their efforts to repeal the controversial bail reform law and close the revolving door of danger and disaster to protect the public. 

On Feb. 5th, Tedisco and Giardino joined with members of the Senate and Assembly Republican Conferences, law enforcement, district attorneys and victims advocates from across the state to rally at the state Capitol to call for bail reform's immediate repeal.  

“Repealing the terrible new bail and discovery reform law to close the revolving door of danger and disaster should be job #1 for the Governor and Legislature. I voted against this outrageous new law and have been one of the most outspoken voices of opposition to it and am carrying the legislation for its full repeal (S.6849/A.8855) so we can start from scratch and get criminal justice reform right.  I'm proud to continue to work side-by-side with Sheriff Giardino to repeal bail reform and keep the public safe. Any changes to bail and discovery reform should be debated and voted on the Floor of the legislature in the light of day outside of the state budget process. Every second the Governor and Majorities delay on repealing bail reform threatens the safety of all law-abiding citizens,” said Senator Jim Tedisco.
