From Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver:
I am pleased that the Justice Department appears to be getting the message, and has begun to reassess their plan. I have been deeply concerned that locating the 9/11 terrorist trials in Lower Manhattan will place an extreme and unacceptable burden on my community, which is still suffering the physical, emotional and economic consequences of the September 11th attacks. Until we receive final confirmation that the trials have been moved, we must not stop speaking out as one united community urging Attorney General Holder to find an alternative location that will not further burden the residents and businesses of Lower Manhattan.
