I reported it to the NYS Department of Transportation and I hope they will paint over these offensive words. I am shocked, positively shocked, that someone was able to CLIMB the bridge and make this graffiti -- I looked on the D&C website to see if anyone had been caught and arrested for this public defacement, but nothing has been mentioned.
