Changes in the bail system in New York, enacted at the beginning of January, have proven to be far more controversial than its supporters had expected. This week, we have a discussion featuring a supporter of the change, State Assemblywoman Pam Hunter, and a detractor, Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick.

He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
