They may be close, but the governor, the Senate Majority leader and the Assembly’s Speaker, all Democrats, have yet to compromise on changes to discovery laws.

At a press conference Tuesday in Ulster County, Governor Kathy Hochul said, too often, loopholes in the discovery laws undermine the work done by law enforcement…
Ulster County Sheriff Juan Figueroa said the 2019 changes to the discovery laws were well-intended, but they had too many unintended consequences…

Sheriff Falco also would like the governor to reconsider bail reform rules, and give more discretion to judges to make decisions.
