Democrat Indicates Support for GOP-led Effort to Rename Local Hudson River Crossing

February 21, 2023 by Jeff Lewis

A Democrat is throwing his support behind a legislative attempt in Albany to rename the new bridge connecting Rockland to Westchester with the same name the old bridge had. A late-night, back-office deal with the former governor resulted in the new bridge being called “The Mario M. Cuomo Bridge,” but since no one much uses that, and calls it by the former bridge’s name, many feel renaming it to “The Tappan Zee Bridge” is more appropriate. The New York Post says former Rockland State Senator James Skoufis, whose district now represents other Hudson Valley counties, says he’s on board with Rockland Assemblyman John McGowan’s bill, which he picked up from former Assemblyman Mike Lawler’s bill introduced two years ago. Skoufis is the first Democrat in the State Senate to support the bill, which he is hoping passes before this legislative term ends in June.
