ALBANY — Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, has been appointed to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Assembly Budget Committee on Agriculture, Environment and Housing.
Tague said he is looking to make sure every penny is considered and spent wisely.
“It’s an incredible honor to be appointed to this committee. Those who know me know how much passion and support I like to show our state’s agricultural workers, and I’m thrilled to be going to bat on their behalf in the Assembly budget negotiations,” Tague said.
Equally as important for Tague are financial considerations for the environment and housing issues, both of which have dominated New York’s policy debates for his entire tenure in state government, he said.
“Environmental work is incredibly important, and while I’m always open to new initiatives, we have entered an era where we have to be practical about how we spend on these initiatives,” Tague said. “The same goes for housing proposals, which are continually caught up in energy and environmental regulations set forth by the state. I look forward to having pragmatic and responsible conversations on state spending with my Assembly colleagues on these issues in committee and many more on the entirety of the budget when the time comes for debate.”
Assemblyman Chris Tague represents the 102ndAssembly District, which includes Greene and Schoharie counties, and parts of Albany, Delaware, Otsego and Ulster counties.
