Sen. James Skoufis (Orange County) Proposes Legislation to Change the Name of the new Bridge Back to the “Tappan Zee Bridge”
“I’m a Democrat. I’m in the majority. I think it presents a new opportunity to perhaps bring this bill to the floor and finally get a vote on it,” Skoufis said.
“Let’s find some bridge, let’s find some tunnel, let’s find some highway that doesn’t already have some dedication and name it after Mario Cuomo,” Skoufis said.
He also has a plan to get his bill passed.
“We can get it done possibly in what we call an omnibus bill, which is, by the way, how this name got done in the first place. It was tucked into a much larger bill with a bazillion other things,” Skoufis said.
If the bill passes, will Gov. Kathy Hochul sign it?
“First of all, Mario Cuomo was an extraordinary governor. But if the bill passes, and I know there’s a lot of conversation after the bill passes the Legislature, I would certainly look at anything that passes at the time, but it is too premature,” Hochul said.
Previously Assemblyman Mike Lawler proposed legislation to change the name back to the “Tappan Zee Bridge” but this represents the best and maybe last opportunity to change the name back.
