New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. (I-Sag Harbor) has received a 100 environmental rating for the 2014 Legislative Session from New York State’s leading statewide environmental organization EPL/Environmental Advocates.

Thiele stated, “The protection of our State’s environmental resources has always been one of my highest priorities.

Our economy and public health depends on protecting our environmental integrity.”
