A Hudson Valley Democrat wants to push the late former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo off his bridge — or at least the Cuomo name.
“Everyone in the Hudson Valley still calls the bridge the Tappan Zee for a reason,” state Sen. James Skoufis (D-Woodbury) told The Post of the span completed in 2018. “It’s the rightful name.”
Skoufis is adding his political muscle to a three-year-old legislative push by becoming the main sponsor of a bill to rename the bridge connecting Rockland and Westchester counties after two years in which GOP-led efforts went nowhere in a state Legislature dominated by Democratic supermajorities.
The name change would take effect immediately upon the bill passing the state Senate and Assembly — which Skoufis hopes to accomplish before the regular legislative session ends this June — and getting signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Now if we could only get RFK off the Triboro Bridge ... RFK being a 1/2 term NY Senator and carpetbagger from Massachusetts
Someone has something on him bigtime...
I remember crossing the original Tappan Zee bridge on trips to Florida... Tappan Zee sounds better... Cuomo sounds... Creepy! And apparently nobody calls it that regardless of the name change.
BTTT
Not sure about that... the renaming of the Tappan Zee was objectionable from the get-go. Guessing the majority wants a return to the norm... in this case.
Let’s be real.. it will likely become the Martin Luther King Jr Bridge.
And Ed Koch of the Queensboro.
Leave the Crappen Pee alone..
We all call it the Tappan Zee anyway.
Il Duce II be darned.
If we’re so Deep Blue, why does NYC now have RCV for mayorals, hmmm...? 🤔
OK, do you honestly think Princess Kathy will undo Prince Andrew’s middle finger to all of dose conservatives in GnuYak for which dere’s no place for in da Empire? Not a chance.
Yeah, seeing as how his old man was partnered with, and man his fortune by, the mafia, we need to erase the Kennedy name. Period.
Never stopped calling it the Tappan Zee and I’d continue to do so even if it was renamed the Trump Bridge. Renaming public works structures for politicians is crass.
I was stuck in traffic on that bridge one morning after spending a weekend at Sterling Forest in NJ.
I was able to last and make the first exit after the eastbound tolls. The Crapandpee nearly lived up to its name.

Apologies for the duplicates.
The android is acting up this morning.
