Cuomo replaced the Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge — the Tappan Zee Bridge to its friends — with a new bridge that he named the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge after his dad, Mario M. Cuomo . This angered fans of both the name Tappan Zee and Malcolm Wilson . Then there was a short respite as New York became consumed by other problems .

While Cuomo teases his return to politics, New York State politicians are once again calling for the bridge’s name to be changed. “With Andrew Cuomo in the early stages of a political comeback, it’s clear that we need to immediately restore the name of the Tappan Zee Bridge,” Assemblyman Michael Lawler, sponsor of the first bill, told the New York Post.
