ALBANY – After months of ignoring pleas from a Native American tribe, Gov. Andrew Cuomo s administration will soon make good on an agreement to install large-scale murals celebrating Native history on a new Interstate 87 overpass.
The state Department of Transportation announced late Friday that installation work will begin next week on a set of engraved murals that will adorn a flyover ramp at the newly opened Exit 3, a pet project of Cuomo s that connects the highway directly to Albany International Airport.
Two of the tribes agreed to a 2014 deal with the DOT that allowed construction to proceed and called for the murals to be installed prominently on the overpass as a way of celebrating the history of the land.

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday called on the federal government to cover New York s entire $15 billion, two-year budget deficit, arguing that the incoming administration has the moral responsibility to pay for the state s coronavirus costs.
The Democratic governor delivered his annual budget address at the state Capitol, laying out a $193 billion spending plan for the fiscal year beginning April 1 that relies on at least $6 billion in yet-to-be-approved federal aid, pauses a small tax cut for the middle class and raises taxes on wealthy New Yorkers to make ends meet.
But Cuomo said he believes the federal government should bear the full costs of the pandemic, which opened up a $5 billion hole in the state s current spending plan and a $10 billion hole for the coming fiscal year.
