NEW YORK (77WABC) — Governor Kathy Hochul is planning to meet with Manhattan D-A Alvin Bragg on Friday.
The New York Post is reporting that Hochul is prepared to force Bragg to reverse his soft on crimes policies.
“I have options, but I will be monitoring the situation very closely,” she said, during a meeting with The Post’s Editorial Board. “I know full well the powers that the governor has — I’ll be having a conversation very shortly to convey, to let him tell me what his plans are and make sure that we’re all in alignment.”
Hochul will meet with Bragg for the first time on Friday at the Governor’s Midtown office.
Bragg has fallen under intense criticism for directing prosecutors to drop some misdemeanor cases, among other policies.
