Episode 117 with Fred Thiele, Former NY State Assemblyman
from Floyd Memorial Library Podcast · host Floyd Memorial Library Podcast
We sit down with Fred Thiele, a lifelong son of Sag Harbor whose public service on the East End has spanned more than four decades. From his early days as a young aide to Assemblyman John Behan to his own nearly 30-year tenure in the New York State Assembly, Thiele has helped shape the region’s political landscape with a style both pragmatic and deeply local.He’s worn many hats: town attorney, county legislator, supervisor. And he’s switched party lines more than once, guided less by ideology than by principle and place.Now, as he steps away from elected office, we look back at the milestones, the turning points, and the challenges still ahead for Long Island, and ask what it means to serve a community for a lifetime.
