The sponsor's argument

Why James Tedisco says this is needed

Assembly Member Bobby D'Andrea was a much beloved businessman, civic leader and Member of the Assembly for Saratoga Springs and surrounding communities. This bill would dedicate the bridge on the Union Avenue gateway into Saratoga Springs to Assembly Member D'Andrea, who passed away at the age of 92 in March 2025. He was an active participant in his community as an entrepreneur who owned and operated the Kaydeross Amuse- ment Park for 30 years, a county supervisor representing Saratoga Springs, the president of the Principessa Elena Society, the director of the Saratoga Lake Association, the chair of the Fort Hudson Foundation, the president of the United Community Fund and the president of the Saratoga County Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease. He represented the city of Saratoga Springs, the Saratoga County towns of Wilton, Moreau, Corinth, Saratoga, and Northumberland, and all of Washington County in the New York State Assembly for an incredible 14 terms, from 1974 to his retirement in 2001. A man of great compassion, optimism, and determi- nation, Assembly Member Bobby D'Andrea's legacy extends far beyond his accomplishments as a public servant. His compassion, his sincere concern for others, his integrity and his motivation to give of his time and energy stands as a beacon for those who aspire to serve their communi- ties.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
