Empire State Building by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.
As New York State implements a slow and orchestrated attempt to re-open, many find the methodology being used to be dysfunctional, contradicting and even dangerous. Our state leaders have frequently engaged in political finger pointing in their never ending refusal to accept any responsibility for what ails New York. The Governor blames the NYC police for not doing their jobs and has even alluded to relieving the NYC Mayor of his duties. As law and disorder reigns, the Governor repeatedly proclaims that we are "New York Strong," but in reality we are in a New York state of confusion.
In recent days in New York State, operating your business to support your family may automatically result in getting arrested but looting and rioting does not. When criminals are arrested, they are overwhelmingly freely released back onto our streets without bail thanks to our state's ill conceived and grossly misnamed "Bail Reform" law. People who get together with family are reported to the police for increasing the spread of Covid-19, but looting and rioting by the thousands without wearing masks doesn't even make the news headlines for increasing the spread.
When a state operates in confusion by day and anarchy by night with bungled curfew times, it is time to get help and make a change. When our veterans and other residents in nursing homes are dying from Covid-19 by the thousands because these facilities were compelled to accept virus infected patients back into their population, it is time to get help and make a change. When businesses and churches are being looted, destroyed and burned and our police officers are wantonly getting shot and stabbed, it is time to get help and make a change.
Unfortunately in New York, our Governor has a very prideful, "Thanks but no thanks" approach to asking for or accepting help. That is, unless it is financial help at the expense of our nation's tax payers, even though low interest federal loans are available to remedy debt issues. Theologians maintain that pride is the deadliest of all sins and it is not hard to understand why. State politicians do not have the right to reject help from the National Guard to quell unrestrained riots in our streets at the expense of resident lives. It takes a strong head of state to admit needing non-financial help and to ask for it on behalf of the people. New York State needs to get help and make a change. If our politicians are too prideful to ask for and accept non-financial help, then we must make a change this November before our state exceeds the grasp of its own salvation.
