The Democratic governor declined Tuesday to take a stand on the increasingly popular idea of stripping the name of former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo off the Hudson River Bridge.
The Democrat declined Tuesday to take a stand on legislation to formally strip the nameacross the Hudson River in favor of the “Tappan Zee” legend favored by locals.
A yearslong effort to nix the “Mario” moniker got a bipartisan jolt last week when state Sen. James Skoufs took over as lead sponsor of the bill, originally introduced by a Republican colleague. Gov. Kathy Hochul declined to take a definitive stand Tuesday on whether the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge should be renamed the Tappan Zee Bridge per popular demand.
“Given that the bill would’ve been dead on arrival if it ever hit Andrew Cuomo’s desk, I definitely welcome Gov. Hochul’s openness to the legislation,” Skoufis said.
