Sure, former Governor George Pataki's portrait is still being completed, but what about one of 18th century governor John Jay? The AP reports that 15 ex-governors' portraits are not in the Capitol's Hall of Governors. Besides Pataki and Jay, the missing include Enos Throop, Williams Marcy, John Dix (the one who served in 1873-1874, not the one who served 1911-1912), William Sulzer, Mario Cuomo (who never provided a portrait) and our most recent former governor, Eliot Spitzer. Here's a list of NY State's governors--and information on visiting the Capitol.

Anyone seen Charles "da pantha" Baron? iirc, he bragged about taking down portraits of white slaveowners...
Save taxpayer money, replace the missing portraits with Xerox copies.
