In his first visit to Long Island since being elected State Senate Majority Leader earlier this month, Senator Malcolm A. Smith will meet Friday with Senators Craig Johnson (D-Port Washington) and Brian X.

Following their discussion, Senator Johnson, who is the new Chair of the Senate’s Committee on Investigations and Government Operations, will announce a major piece of statewide legislation relating to community safety.
