Cuomo says he’ll take the blame for bail reform, but won’t sign budget without it – FingerLakes1.com: Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday had a message for lawmakers concerned with whether criminal justice law changes like ending cash bail should be in the budget: He’d take the blame.

“It will be true. Blame me. The governor said he would not do a budget without criminal justice reform,” Cuomo said. “If we didn’t have a budget, my school districts wouldn’t get money. The governor insisted on putting it in the budget.”

Holding up his right arm at a press conference, Cuomo added, “Blame me. Guilty.”
