State Senate Democrats from Long Island on Tuesday celebrated passage of a state budget and said Republicans had it wrong when they predicted a Democratic majority would cater to the interests of New York City. At a news conference in Garden City, the six Long Island state senators hailed increased education funding for Nassau and Suffolk school districts and they touted new oversight of the Long Island Rail Road.
