NYS Assemblyman Chris Tague Tackles Shortcomings in Governor's State of the State Proposal
New York State Assemblyman Chris Tague, representing the state's 101st district, was the guest speak at the Chamber's networking event on Jan. 10. Assemblyman Tague enumerated what he sees as short-comings in the Governor's State of the State Address, including the failure to address the lack of broadband, economic development and infrastructure enhancements for rural parts of New York, like Delaware County.
He is particularly concerned about the state's declining population, which is reported to be 1.2 million people since 2010. Tague is particularly concerned that New York state is starting the 2020 fiscal year with a $6.2 billion dollar deficit and that Governor Cuomo is proposing additional tax cuts to personal income tax and business taxes, which will merely result in increased real property taxes for villages, towns, counties and school districts.
Tague has partnered with Congressman Antonio Delgado to encourage US Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer to re-structure the proposed budget by adding $500,000,000 million for broadband service expansion.

Chamber Now Offers Health Care Options!
Providing quality healthcare for employees can be a
challenge.
Our members tell us that healthcare is a top concern for
their businesses. That's why the Delaware County Chamber has partnered with
the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA) to allow our members
access to a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional
insurance plans. The SALA Healthcare Program offers two preventative care plans
with a medical cost sharing program covering unexpected or catastrophic events.
Participants can expect to save as up to 60% when compared to traditional group
health insurance. Prescription drug and telemedicine programs are also
included. The SALA Healthcare Program helps businesses, who are unable to
provide group health insurance, offer their employees access to affordable,
high quality healthcare.
For more information visit us online at delawarecounty.org.
