Did Cuomo (and the rest) really take office the day after election day? This seems implausible on its face. The new governor doesn't take office until January 1. john k 06:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well observed, John. I fixed this now. The official list at the site confuses the election date with the date of taking office after 1847. It becomes evident at the resignation of Levi S. Chatfield on December 8, 1853, when Ogden Hoffman had been elected already on November 8, but was NOT YET in office. Besides, Cuomo is shown on the NYAG site on a picture taking the oath on January 1, 2007. Kraxler (talk) 19:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the Article?

[edit]

This article is just a list. Where is the article on the New York state attorney general? Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:57, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The official name of this position is "Attorney General of New York".

[edit]

The official name of this position is "Attorney General of New York". It is common for people to say "New York Attorney General" which is fine but the official name is "Attorney General of New York". The Independent Greek 100 (talk) 19:30, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New York Attorney GeneralAttorney General of New York – Opening this discussion procedurally given the recent copy/paste move and PRODing of the other page in attempt to move it by NewYorkRepub100. This has also been mentioned by an editor above, but since it appears other states follow the State Attorney general format, I would consider any move to be controversial and in need of discussion. I am neutral as to the outcome here. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
