To common saychel: This may be my first negative post on Cuomo, but I have had qualms about Cuomo for many years. I voted for his Republican opponent at least once. He is too much of a crony capitalist for my political sensibilities. Ironically, one of his supposed masterpieces, the Mario Cuomo Bridge – replacement of the Tappan Zee bridge, which was designed to last only 40 years but in fact lasted 70 years – was built with Chinese steel, which a knowledgeable friend of mine says is notoriously faulty and will fail in a matter of a few years. And if I were governor and wanted a bridge to be named after a prior governor who was my father, I would have left it to my successors to do the naming.
There may be some worthy successors in the New York Congressional delegation, e.g., Gerry Nadler, Hakeem Jeffries, or Sean Maloney.
