BOROUGH PRESIDENT GIBSON`S STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR HOCHUL CODIFYING NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION INTO LAW
"By codifying the New York State Office of Gun Violence Prevention into law, Governor Kathy Hochul is sending a clear message that addressing the gun violence crisis is a top priority for New York State. In the Bronx, we have seen firsthand the devastating impact of gun violence on our communities. We have seen innocent lives lost, families shattered, and futures forever altered.
I want to thank Governor Hochul for being a true partner in this fight and investing in real solutions that help protect our families and strengthen our communities. Together, we will continue to work with our colleagues in government, violence interrupters, clergy, youth organizations, and local leaders to ensure our neighborhoods receive the resources they need to heal and be safe."
