2007 primaries likely moved by 1 week

The state is likely to move this year’s politically primaries back one week—so that the elections don’t fall on Sept. 11.
The state Senate will pass a bill today to reschedule the contests to the third Tuesday of September, rather than the customary second Tuesday, for this year only, making primary day Sept. 18. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has already introduced a similar measure in his house, making its approval appear certain. Here is what Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno had to say:
 “The New York State primaries are an important symbol of the democratic process which was attacked on that horrible day. However it would be unfitting to hold any event which would distract from the mourning process we undergo each year in honor of those who gave their
lives on 9/11.’‘
