Gov. Hochul likely to keep National Guard in NYC subway this summer

There will be a day when the National Guard isn’t checking bags at the entrances of highly trafficked New York City subway stations — just don’t expect it anytime soon.Since then, New York state has spent about $2.7 million on the effort, according to the Democratic governor's budget division. National Guard soldiers — usually two at a time — are being sent to an average of 85 stations each day across the five boroughs, the state Division of Military and Naval Affairs said.

“I … know that, statistically, crimes trend upward in the summer months,” Hochul told reporters on Monday. “And so it's probably not the time to say we're done.” Danny Pearlstein, a spokesperson for the Riders Alliance, said ordering the National Guard into the subway sent the wrong message.
