Mayoral debate rescheduled to avoid Sandy anniversary

The Campaign Finance Board has postponed Tuesday’s planned mayoral debate until Wednesday so it won’t conflict with the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.

Democrat Bill de Blasio and Republican Joe Lhota put out an unusual joint statement asking for the move, saying Tuesday “should be marked with solemn reflection.”

The 90-minute debate will air at 7 p.m. on WNBC/Channel 4.
