Plans and instructions for the bank’s contractors, on file with the city, specify the installation of at least one Sub-Zero Inc. refrigerator and icemaker in the renovated space, along with “premium grade” millwork and Madico Inc. “Safety Shield 800” blast-proof window film.

The only other chamber we can think of that has had only four top leaders since 1965 is the Tennessee Senate where John Wilder served as lieutenant governor (by virtue of being elected speaker of the Senate, not statewide) for 36 of those years (1971-2007). None of the three other Tennessee lieutenant governors during this period were Jared Maddox (1965-67), Frank Gorrell (1967-71), and Ron Ramsey (2007-) served more than four years, but Wilder's longevity enables them to match New York.
