ALBANY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement in response to the New York City Council overriding Mayor Eric Adams’ veto of the “How Many Stops Act:”

“The ‘How Many Stops Act’ makes it harder for New York’s Finest to protect New Yorkers from criminals by burying them in needless paperwork.”

“It’s an insult to New Yorkers, who are rightfully feeling less safe thanks to a long list of radical Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies, as well as our ongoing illegal migrant crisis.”

“Kathy Hochul and the State Legislature should immediately pass legislation overriding this misguided act.”
