Gov. Cuomo’s Plan To Use Clean Water Funds For Tappan Zee Bridge OK’d

ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to use clean water funds on the new Tappan Zee Bridge was approved Wednesday by a key state board despite objections from environmental groups that said the money should support drinking water and sewer treatment projects. 

The $256 million loan from the clean water fund would help pay for the $3.9 billion span being built north of New York City. Cuomo’s administration argues the novel use of the funds would help minimize the cost of tolls on the new bridge and pay for work associated with the construction that would protect the Hudson River Valley.

Greetings,

This Tuesday, on the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, everyone impacted by this tragic storm will be commeorating the events of last year in their own way.

Some will feel most comforted by staying home, or gathering with family or friends, or in their religious communities. Some will join in the many anniversary events happening around the island, seeking the strength of the broader Sandy-impacted community.

Whether you are a resident who lost everything, or a caregiver, or a service provider who is feeling very tired, this anniversary is a stressful time.

Be sure to take care of yourself. Rest. Talk about how you are feeling with family and friends. Pay attention to your health.

And remember that many emotional care services available on Staten Island are open to both impacted residents and their caregivers.

You can talk to a crisis counselor confidentiality and free of cost  by calling any of these numbers:
