Former Rockland State Lawmaker Joins GOP to Get Tappan Zee Name Restored on Hudson River Crossing

February 22, 2023 by Jeff Lewis

A former Rockland State Senator, a Democrat, is throwing his support behind a GOP-backed legislative attempt in Albany to rename the new bridge connecting Rockland to Westchester with the same name the old bridge had. State Senator James Skoufis, whose district covers the Hudson Valley, says he’s on board with ditching the “Mario M. Cuomo Bridge” name in favor of the original “Tappan Zee Bridge” moniker…

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. Whether the governor would back the plan remains a mystery. The New York Post reported that Governor Kathy Hochul said she’d look at the legislation if it passes, but for now, it’s “too premature” to comment.
