Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr has released the following statement:

"Governor Cuomo and radical progressives in New York City should be ashamed for eliminating bail in New York State. Erie County District Attorney John Flynn announced most of the ten criminals arrested for rioting and looting related charges will be back on the street. Can’t hold them behind bars where they belong. This is a disgrace. Because of soft on crime, anti-police politicians that care more about criminals than police, our community will be less safe. They’ll be free to riot and loot again and again and again.

Erie County Clerk Michael P. Kearns and Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw continued their fight against Governor Andrew Cuomo’s new law that charges police officer with a Class E felony for sharing information about illegal immigrants to other members of law enforcement. 

Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr.  sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo and Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul today, asking them to explain why all Erie County hospitals are not allowed to resume elective surgeries, in light of multiple sets of data supporting their full operation in our region.
