"Triboro Bridge re-named for only $4,000,000 " by Ace Preston

Recently at the cost of $4 million from state funds the Triborough Bridge near both airports had been renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge.
The disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer who resigned in March 2008 made this proposal in his January 2008 State of the State Address. If this still doesn't make much sense it is simply history repeating itself.
When the Triborough Bridge first broke ground on October 25, 1929, then corrupt NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker just one day after "Black Thursday" the event that helped trigger the Great Depression initialed $5.4 million allocated by New York City for construction of the new bridge of which most of the funds went to counsel fees and condemnation awards.
If a bridge is to be renamed it should have been that bridge at Chappaquiddick in Martha's Vineyard. It should have been named after MaryJo Kopechne not after a Kennedy.
