the project would cost up to $10 billion. the concept is not new. an earlier plan in the 1970s was defeated for lack of money and fierce local opposition. just one of a number of projects the governor proposed today including rebuilding penn station as well as a new laguardia airport. >> it's another plan i think that's going to be talked about, quarrelled about, debated. because the people will stand up and say no. >> oyster bay produces 90% of all of the oysters harvested in the state of new york in waters that are federally protected. the governor did not say how he's going to get around that, let alone how this bridge would be financed. live tonight in oyster bay, long island, n.j. burkett, channel 7 eyewitness news. >> long way to go. new jersey transit tonight defending its surveillance systems. the river line between trenton

between the coast and inland, probably in the upper 50s along the shore but near 70 inland. then on sunday everyone gets warm. i think we get in to the low 70s sunday and monday. late monday, clouds increase. could be a shower late monday and monday night. better chance tuesday. highs by then still around room temperature. 68 degrees. i don't think anyone is complaining about that. rob powers up next with sports. >> met fans, they are getting impatient but have faith in the fella who gets the ball tonight. a big pitching match-up at citifield. noah syndergaard carries the hope of the fans to the mound with him. the stanley cup playoffs open this week. great price on this boneless chicken! yeah. we love low prices. no bones about it. [ laughter ] thousands of blue tags. thousands of low prices.

there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. i know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message,
