Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed legislation -- inspired by the vicious stabbing murder of EMS Lt. Alison Russo in 2022 -- that would require the FDNY's EMS units responding to 911 emergency medical calls be staffed by two qualified medical first responders.
State Sens. Jim Skoufis (D-Orange) and Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) plan to send a letter Tuesday demanding Hochul’s administration turn over evidence centering on her overhaul of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program.
