Former guy named it after his papa, a politician, who was in office during the 80s. Nobody dared to raise any objections because at the time he was the boss. And needless to say it's a one party state in New York. You disagree with the governor, you answer to the party (for obvious reasons this has only recently changed) That being said, the working class today who have to commute daily across this bridge have no memory of
Mario Cuomo. Jared Floyd, a hero who died saving the elderly in a massive fire at an elderly care facility **
3 months ago** in the county that this bridge connects to, is a much better subject for memorization than some governor from 4 decades ago who just so happens to be related to the one who gave the bridge its name. But that's all I'll say on that. The Senate will consider renaming the bridge to Tappan Zee. This other suggestion is merely a petition with a bit over 10,000 signatures.
