Statement from Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C-Ballston Lake)
“Outrageous! Another bail fail! The three alleged suspects in the burglary at Lola in Saratoga Springs — all from Washington, DC — were arrested early this morning in a residential neighborhood in Clifton Park after fleeing police at a high speed. They were then released by the court without bail!!!”
“This is a sad result of the dangerous bail reform law passed by the Governor and the radicals in the Majority that continues to wreak havoc on honest, law-abiding New Yorkers with its revolving door of danger and disaster. That’s why I’m sponsoring bi-partisan legislation (S.905) to repeal the bail reform law and give judges real discretion like they have in 49 other states."
"I applaud the Saratoga Springs Police Department, Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, and the New York State Police for their work in apprehending these individuals as well as the person who contacted law enforcement when they saw the crime take place.”
“We need to come back into session and pass my bail reform bill so judges have the ability to keep criminals like this locked up in the future and so we can protect New York’s forgotten people: crime victims and law-abiding citizens!”
