Bruce Conviser reports that New York's mass transportation authority in Long Island Railroad workers reached the deal Monday night. Governor Kathy Hockel applauded the agreement.

She said the MTA had reached the fair deal with the five striking unions. Details of the agreement have not been released, but Hockel said it gave the 3,500 striking rail workers a fair salary increase while protecting riders. When negotiations broke off early Saturday, Hockel warned that the salary raise being sought by the unions would force the MTA to raise transit fairs, perhaps as much as 8%.

He was 74, a corner said Monday that Furman died last week in Idaho where he moved years ago.

Furman was one of the first two police detectives sent to investigate the 1994 killings
