"#NewYork #lawmakers rolled a proposal for a 50-foot “#bufferzone” around #Jewish #dayschools and community centers into the state budget on Tuesday.
#SamSutton, a #Democratic state #senator who is Jewish, stated that “after the horrific incident outside #ParkEast #Synagogue, I became the first #legislator to introduce this proposal.”
“Today, buffer zone protections were included in the final #statebudget,” he said.
#NoamAbrahams, #Sutton’s communications director, told JNS that the proposal was included in the budget bill that’s being discussed in session.
“Although that means it hasn’t technically passed both houses yet, I’ve never seen a budget bill not pass once it was on the floor,” #Abrahams told JNS."
