2. I have no problem with Mario Cuomo, only with the name change on the bridge.

I lived in Rockland County for decades, and now Orange County...both on the west side of the Hudson.
I crossed the Tappan Zee bridge at least a thousand times, and was glad to see it was being replaced by a much bigger bridge that could handle the traffic flow that is now far higher than the bridge, which was built in the 50's, was designed to handle.
Tappan Zee is an important part of NY history; it's a non-political name that honors an historical location.
Rename the Bridge to Tappan Zee!
