Spitzer sets special election date for Lavelle's seat

via NY1;

Spitzer says the special election for the 61st Assembly seat is scheduled for March 27th.

In related news, last night's special election for the south shore City Council seat went to Vinnie Ignizio (R) over Manny Innamorato (D);

Vincent M. Ignizio, 3,902 (72%)
Emanuele Innamorato, 1,511 ( 28%)

There will now possibly be a special election to fill Ignizio's now vacant Assembly seat.
