Mayor Eric Adams implored Albany pols Tuesday to finally make changes to discovery laws and involuntary commitment – as he claimed that some state lawmakers deny the Big Apple even has a recidivism problem. The call for action came as the state Senate and Assembly passed a stopgap funding bill amid stalled negotiations over Gov. Kathy Hochul’s mammoth $252 billion budget plan.
