Council Member Holden accuses Gov. Hochul of ‘gaslighting’ over mental health crisis plan

Council Member Robert Holden has accused Gov. Kathy Hochul of “gaslighting the public” after she issued a plan to tackle the mental health crisis in New York.

Hochul believes many crimes are linked to untreated mental illness and plans to introduce legislation to make it easier to commit those suffering from it involuntarily to hospitals.
