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.

New City, NY – The County of Rockland, along with towns and law enforcement, are on alert following an FBI warning made Thursday to the House of Representatives. During that panel, FBI Bureau Director Christopher Wray said he was increasingly concerned about “the potential for a coordinated attack here [United States] in the homeland, akin to the Isis-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall just a couple weeks ago.”

“As I look back over my career in law enforcement, I would be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once. But that is the case as I sit here today,” said Wray.

Back in March, 144 people were killed and over 500 injured when four armed gunman stormed a Russian concert hall and open fired before setting fire to the building. The Islamic State group took responsibility for what is the deadliest attack in Russia in two decades.

The County of Rockland along with its municipal partners are on alert following the FBI Warning and urge residents who see something to say something.
