Thinking of Touring NYC? Think Again....

We've been to NYC twice; once before and once during Giuliani.

Night-and-day difference; Giuliani wins, hands-down.

Now there's the Cuomo ubermensch/deBlasio untermensch regime(s) governing the State and City, respectively.  (I use the term "governing" very loosely.)

What's new??  Glad you asked.

...Earlier this year, New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, signed a bill under which, on January 1 of next year, criminals arrested for roughly 400 categories of misdemeanors and felonies will be released immediately without the need to post any cash bail pretrial. Other criminals will get off with limited cash bail or other forms of unsecured bond. 

As a result, says Horowitz, people arrested for criminally negligent homicide, any drug trafficking and gang activity, or aggravated assault (even against children) will be released indefinitely while awaiting trial. The law applies retroactively to those already in jail awaiting trial for these crimes.....

Therefore, if you plan on being a tourist, get it done before 12/31.  After that, God help you--because the NYPD's hands are tied, too.
