How ironic: Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he’ll hold up the budget unless it fixes the bail-reform law. Last year, he vowed not to OK it unless it included the flawed law.

At least the crime surge sparked by the reform (or public outrage over it) got him to see his mistakes. NYPD stats released Monday show a 20 percent jump in serious crimes over the first two months of the year, including robberies (up 35 percent) and car thefts (64 percent).

Yet Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie wants New Yorkers to suffer still more crime before he’ll consider fixes. He pooh-poohed January’s crime uptick, saying it was too early to call it a “trend,” but there’s no sign even two months of data are enough for him.

If Heastie wants more crime, he’ll get it: Monday, a judge freed serial subway scam­mer Charles Barry, after he was nabbed for allegedly swiping cash — his 142nd career arrest and his seventh get-out-of-jail-free card in two months. Want to bet what a guy with 142 arrests does next?

On Friday, a judge again set Tiffany Harris free. She’d already gotten out twice after arrests for other alleged violent crimes, as a result of the reform.

And that was a day after Mark Nelson, a registered sex offender, was set loose in Orange County after being hauled in for trespassing outside a nursery school.

Thanks to Heastie, the state won’t jam up the revolving door before April 1; even then, any fixes will be done secretly, with no public oversight, as part of a budget deal.

Cuomo says this year, unlike 2019, he’ll hold a “public” meeting with DAs, police and others. Fine. But he admits pols up for re-election are “afraid” and “don’t want to take a position” — which sounds like a recipe for getting it wrong again.

New Yorkers are stuck hoping Cuomo can sway Heastie, trusting the deal will make the right fixes — and praying they’re not victims of avoidable crimes before then.
