The Thruway Authority disbanded the Emergency unit several years ago as a cost cutting $$$$$. Not because of someone not wearing turnout out gear The TA should take a long hard look at the lack of quick response to a incident what happen if bridge suffered major damage and had to be closed for a few days? Hey Governor let OFPC make study on bridge emergency services , not a few overpaid TA money pinchers. Happy 4th of July

Wake up Westchester .
