The issue: Governor Hochul’s State of State address, including proposed measures to reduce subway crime.
In her State of the State address, Governor Hochul proposed providing a police officer to every train during nighttime hours for six months (“Kat sees the light!”, January 15).
What about the other 16 hours a day?
And what happens at the end of the six-month period?
Hochul also wants to spend millions on LED lighting.
Lighting is no problem.
It’s a smokescreen for us New Yorkers to forget her incompetence and the $9 “congestion tax.”

In a classic case of politicians saying just about anything to get re-elected, the governor has promised changes for better crime prevention.
She has also seen the marked shift among liberals since newly elected President Donald Trump’s stunning victory.
I don’t trust her, and I hope enough New Yorkers agree with me.
It’s time we see the light and vote her out of office.

What Hochul said in her State of the State address was essentially that the same thousands of criminals who have terrorized this city will continue to do so.

So now we’re going to put a cop on the train at night to care for and protect the homeless and mentally ill and prevent crime?
But when the police move officers to the subway, we still have the mentally ill, the homeless, and criminals on the streets.
This step will not correct the problem of crime, it will only move it to another place.
Hochul is grasping at straws.
Major changes need to happen to get the city back to where it has been in recent years.

If an election were held now, Hochul wouldn’t even be elected dog catcher (“No ‘affordable’ help for New York homeowners,” Post Opinion, Joe Borelli & Justin Brannan, January 16).
Instead of making the city increasingly unaffordable by pandering to campaign workers, Hochul should look at other, more efficient ways to generate revenue.
Money could be raised by making offenders pay and by making the MTA operate more efficiently by eliminating all waste, which costs us untold amounts of money.
Of course, none of this will ever happen because Hochul is intimidated by her woke progressive allies and donors.

The issue: President Biden orders the release of eleven prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay.
The latest insult that President Biden has committed against the American people is the release of prisoners from Guantanamo Bay (“Joe unleashes terror,” Paul Sperry, January 13).
Is there anyone in this country or in the government who can stop this man from his destructive tendencies?
What a slap in the face to the families of the thousands murdered on September 11, a tragedy involving the men he released.
The number of victims continues to rise, with diseases still affecting first responders and those who work and live in that area.
January 20, when this man and his policies are over, will be a day to celebrate America.

Just when you think things can’t get any worse, President Biden raises his head and releases detained terrorists.
How senseless and destructive can this person become?
I hope that President-elect Donald Trump undoes all of Biden’s disastrous policies.
