Torres emphasized that the Governor's passive response to the open-air drug market not only endangers public safety but also exacerbates the crisis in the Bronx. He pointed out that while the State has issued promises to eliminate such conditions, nothing has substantially changed, leaving residents vulnerable to the glaring issues on the streets. It's essential that the concerns of Bronx residents are met with urgency and action.
In his letter, Torres criticized both state and city leaders for their ineffective responses. "The State's do-nothing approach and the City's ad-hoc approach has led to a game of whack-a-mole in which the NYPD temporarily removes the open-air drug market, only to see it re-emerge almost overnight. This cycle is not only frustrating but also dangerous for the families living nearby."
