This is actually, in fact, partisan, because Democrats and their legislation have created this issue.

They are the ones who have carried this banner, they are the ones who have passed this legislation.

not trying to reduce congestion, and certainly not increasing ridership on the subways because no one wants to ride them because they are too scared because of cashless bail and criminal justice reform that Democrats like Kathy Hochul implemented.

It is the rhetoric that is being spewed by Democrats here on Capitol Hill, by anti-cop people throughout this country.

And you know what? You said it best when you said it penalizes operators, and it's just another tax.

We have a State legislature and a Governor, all three Democrats, who have been over the last few years known for, really, their overreach.

Law enforcement officers actually wear handcuffs on their gun belts to use them against criminals, but Democrats... have allowed those handcuffs to be put on us to not do our jobs.

Why? Because over the last few years, legislation implemented by Democrats throughout this country has made this country less safe.
