Mario Cuomo Bridge or Tappan Zee? New push on to bring back old bridge's name [View all]
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mario-cuomo-bridge-tappan-zee-100653937.htmlA bill to restore the original name — supported by a petition with more than 260,000 signatures — has sat for two years. But it was recently revived and stands a better shot this session, with a Democratic senator taking up the cause in the Democratic-majority Legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul wielding the pen to sign or veto it instead of her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.
Personally, I adored Mario Cuomo.
But "Tappan Zee" refers to an important part of NY history. I was never in favor of changing the name.
