For Long Island, one key question when it comes to this year's state Senate races is whether its communities as a whole will lose clout should the house change from GOP to Democratic.
Right now there are eight Republicans and one Democrat in the Senate delegation from Nassau and Suffolk combined. If you look at the way Democrat John Rennhack breaks out the most recent school-aid numbers here, the partisan argument could be one of current favoritism.
But there are also two houses, and the Assembly is overwhelmingly Democratic. So when it comes to regional competition for funds, there are a lot of sharp edges.

What is it with Newsday - to put a Democrat's rip of Republicans as any sort of news is a joke
Be real - he is a political hack and you put it up on your site
Have some dignity seriously
Craig Johnson is a tool who could not get money for his district if he found Bloomberg's wallet
why is it that every time the republican big shots get called to the carpet, they and their followers take a ride on the waaaaaaambulence?
