Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said three times in the last two weeks, including once Wednesday, that he won’t approve this year’s state budget, due in three weeks, without legislation that would reform the state’s criminal justice system.

But Democrats in the Legislature haven’t made the same commitment, saying instead that they could pass legislation to reform the state’s laws on bail, criminal discovery and the right to a speedy trial outside the spending plan, which is expected to pass at the end of the month.
