Murray leads LI reps in bills passed

For minority-party state lawmakers, getting bills passed can be tricky. Who led Long Island in pulling that off this year? Assemb. Dean Murray (R-East Patchogue).

In his first full session, Murray pushed five bills through both houses, says the New York Public Interest Research Group. Alfred Graf (R-Holbrook) had four, Joseph Saladino (R-Massapequa) three.

Most Island Assembly Republicans got one or two, except Brian Curran (R-Lynbrook) and Edward Ra (R-Franklin Square), who were shut out.-- Yancey Roy
