ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)--- Governor Hochul is proposing $8 million dollars in her executive budget to strengthen security at the Northern Border by adding more state troopers. On Tuesday, New York State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Commissioner Jackie Bray, explained how the proposed money would be spent. "What this money is specially going to do is to beef up our capacity to coordinate on investigations with Border patrol and then beef up the type of technology we need to intercept trafficking— whether that’s guns, drugs, or human trafficking," said Bray. Charles Murphy, President of the New York State Troopers PBA, was asked if he thinks the governor’s proposal would be beneficial.  "Well, we think our focus on public safety is key and essential, and proper for this time," said Murphy. "The amount in funding and how it’s going to be accomplished really are the devil in the details that we are curious to see how it will come together." The budget process is in the early stages and a finalized spending plan isn’t due until April 1st. Republican Senator Dan Stec, who represents North Country, is encouraged the governor is targeting the Northern Border. "I’m not sure $8 million dollars is a lot of money to get this done," said Stec. "But I’m frustrated that the more intelligent way to go about this is to repeal the Green Light Law, so that all the teammates can talk to each other." Democratic North Country Assemblyman, Billy Jones, said any help along the Northern Border is welcomed. He too thinks the Green Light Law, which he said stops federal law enforcement from accessing New York State DMV records, should at least be amended for counties along the Northern Border.  "What I’ve heard from local law enforcement when they are not able to access those DMV records, those unsavory characters that are bringing drugs and weapons, and doing human smuggling bringing them across they have no way to access and communicate with our state and local officials on suspicious people coming over," Jones explained. During Tuesday's press conference, Governor Hochul was asked if she’s looking to re-evaluate green light laws. "This is not about letting people who commit crimes get away with it," said Hochul. "Our policy now and will always be that people who commit crimes will go through the criminal Justice system and at the end of it if they are convicted, they will be deported. There's nothing that stops us from cooperating with law enforcement in these areas."
