Only thing political, if that, is that we shouldn't be giving any politician any credit for something that was started decades before him just cause it was finished during his time, most of it isn't an addition, just a compilation. Mostly because in crediting this to any governorship we lose sight of all the small groups across the state who have made this all possible and that's the part I don't like.
Political would be that the Tappen Zee shouldn't be denigrated by being renamed for his ahole father but that's a different conversation for elsewhere.
