Elect or appoint attorney general debate splits New York
New York State Senators clashed over electing or appointing the Attorney General. Kennedy urged a Governor appointment with a state Department of Justice, subject to legislative approval, while Javits pressed for continued election to preserve checks and balances. Comptroller Levitt defended independence of the Controller’s office amid calls for clearer auditing powers.
