New York lawmakers will be holding interviews in the coming days for candidates interested in being the next attorney general, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said Wednesday, in an attempt to bring order to the sudden scramble for the spot. Mr. Heastie, a Bronx Democrat, said in a letter Wednesday to legislative leaders he is assembling a committee to conduct the interviews and the panel will make a recommendation to his chamber. He invited Republicans and state senators to join the panel.
