Cuomo’s anti-justice Parole Board’s shameful – Latest News
The Issue: An 87% pay hike for state Parole Board members since 2019, as they’ve freed 43 cop-killers.
As Tina Moore’s article on the Parole Board factors out, justice in New York is no longer half of the method (“Parole Board has ‘free’ rein,” April 13).
It has turn into a commodity — one thing to be purchased and bought.
Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his henchmen have turned justice into a zero-sum sport the place the victims all the time lose and the criminals by no means pay in full — regardless of what’s been discovered by a competent jury.
The Empire State was warned about “defining deviancy down” 32 years in the past by somebody who genuinely cared in regards to the welfare of others. Daniel Patrick Moynihan have to be handing over his grave.

New York’s Parole Board is a perverse panel of overpaid, felon-friendly, far-left lunatics who sacrifice our security for his or her woke fantasy of “restorative justice.” Freeing 43 convicted cop-killers is a whole shame.
Why does any convicted assassin deserve a second likelihood? Did their victims get a second likelihood?
The board have to be rebalanced to incorporate more members with a law-enforcement background and fewer with a public-defender disposition.

Each of the 16 otherwise-unemployable members of the Parole Board takes down a fast $190k a 12 months for subsequent to no work. Most are Cuomo appointees whose sole goal appears to be to release convicted felons back onto our streets.
I particularly preferred Tana Agostini, who used her job as a relationship service to bag assassin Thomas O’Sullivan. Love could also be blind, however for $190k a 12 months this sure stings the remainder of us long-suffering taxpayers.

The state Parole Board is ridiculously stacked towards crime victims, police, prosecutors of violent crime, judges and the public’s security.
Not one member out of the 16 represents these important pursuits, to not point out the various New York residents who aren’t registered Democrats.

How would Cuomo act if he felt the ache that the households of slain police officers really feel daily when watching their killers set free by the Parole Board?

The Issue: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposed company job cuts.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is true to concentrate on the massive image (“Healthy Cuts to Fed Fat,” Robert F. Kennedy, April 11).
America is struggling many extra deaths every year in comparison with different developed nations, though we spend twice as a lot on health care. This outrageous scandal is a shame that we ought to be ashamed of.
A radical transformation of our health care system is an existential problem. Only Kennedy can repair it, if he’s given the possibility.

Publishing RFK Jr.’s protection of his lethal evisceration of Health and Human Services is harmful. He’s a science denialist whose anti-vaccine advocacy for 25 years has precipitated great hurt to hundreds of thousands globally.
Kennedy has set back years of credible scientific and medical analysis. He is a clear and current hazard to world health care.
The Post has condemned him repeatedly. So it’s inexcusable that your paper would grant him space to advertise more of his lies and deceit.

RFK Jr. is a lawyer, not a physician, proposing radical adjustments to the HHS.
Having him head this company with zero medical expertise is sort of as insane as stating that the measles vaccine is optionally available.
