New York Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed seeking bids from private companies as part of a plan to redraw the controversial Gateway Tunnel project that he presented to President Donald Trump during lunch Wednesday at the White House.
Cuomo described the meeting as positive and said afterward during a press conference at his Manhattan offices that Trump was receptive to his proposal, which would get a cost estimate for tunnel construction that he said both he and the president would trust.
