(Tarrytown, NY) -- State Senator David Carlucci wants to know why the electronic safety signs on the Mario Cuomo Bridge don't seem to work very well.

The drivers say they heard about the warnings on the radio, but none of the electronic signs on the bridge were lit.

(Goshen, NY) -- The people behind the new Legoland theme park in Goshen say they have not given up on their bid to rename a portion of Harriman Drive that leads into to the park Legoland Boulevard. Harriman Drive is a state road, so state lawmakers would have to sign off on a name change. Goshen town lawmakers were set to hold a symbolic vote in favor of the name change, but changed their minds when fans of the Harriman family said they were against the proposal. It's not clear if state lawmakers will push for the name change, given they would likely get the same blowback from fans of the famed New York family.
