The article refers to dealings with New York City's "first mayor"? How could the first mayor of a hundreds-of-years-old city still be alive?

Previously, all five boroughs had separate mayors. He was the first unified mayor of New York.OlYeller (talk) 21:13, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, good catch Piledhigher -- I messed up when I wrote that. OlYeller is correct that he was the first unified mayor, but I definitely should have made that clear when I wrote it. Should be fixed now. --JayHenry (talk) 22:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
