FROM: ULSTER COUNTY DA HOLLEY CARNRIGHT AND ULSTER COUNTY SHERIFF PAUL VANBLARCUM
DATE: MARCH 23, 2017
RE: ULSTER COUNTY DA HOLLEY CARNRIGHT - NOTICE OF PRESS CONFERENCE ON PROPOSAL OF RAISE THE AGE LEGISLATION TO BE HELD MARCH 27TH, 11:00 AM, 6TH FLOOR COUNTY OFFICE BLDG, LEGISLATIVE CHAMBERS
Greetings:
Included in Governor Cuomo’s 2017 Budget Bill is a provision to decriminalize almost all criminal behavior of offenders who are under the age of 18 years. As currently drafted, this legislation calls for a dramatic and unprecedented shift in the Criminal Justice System with far reaching repercussions, the least of which will be a significant shifting of costs to county taxpayers.
You are invited to an informational press conference where I will attempt to highlight various provisions of the proposed legislation and will be available to answer questions you may have. The conference will be held Monday, March 27th at 11:00 AM on the 6thFloor of the County Office Building in the Legislative Chambers.
