Hi All,
A few days ago, US Congressional candidate Mike Parietti invited me onto his radio show to interview me about the Tappan Zee, and the ongoing (we ain't dead yet!) drive to return the Tappan Zee name to the bridge.
In this 30-minute interview (which was recorded on video), I continued to explain why keeping the bridge's original name is so important. I've attached the link to the video below. On the show, I also pointed out the sad fact that in Albany, 'history is apparently only important when it helps Andrew Cuomo'.
Mike is running on a platform that includes a new federal law that would prohibit the naming of public infrastructure after politicians and certainly not after those who haven't been dead all that long. He even suggests the idea of auctioning off naming rights, thus bringing in tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the states each year. He is a fan of keeping the Tappan Zee name on the bridge.
In any case, since we are all stuck at home much of the week due to the ongoing pandemic, I hope you will take a watch/listen, and get reinvigorated about this cause. We are just a few hundred signature shy of 120,000 signatures. Please share this post, and this video with your friends, and on social media, and let's continue our drive towards 150,000 signatures.
Wishing you all well! We will get that bridge name back!
-Monroe
