Cuomo announces new State of Emergency regarding gun and violent crime spikes...
Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a seven-part plan to stem the rise in gun and other violent crime in New York State.  The governor made the announcement Tuesday in New York City... and, says the first step is declaring a Gun Violence Disaster Emergency.  Cuomo says the declaration allows money to be freed up to put resources towards the problem... where ever it is in the state.  He adds another part involves reinstating the state's Summer Jobs program... which he says was put on the back-burner last year due to the pandemic.  Cuomo says having a full Summer Jobs program has reduced crime in the past by 45%.  In addition... Cuomo issued an executive order for police departments to report where gun violence incidents have been taking place so resources can be targeted to those areas.  He also wants to create a council to look at what laws are needed... and what needs to be changed.  He says that panel has to make recommendations based on "policy not politics."  Cuomo also wants to lead an effort to get illegal guns off the streets.
