Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday announced flags on state buildings would be flown at half-staff on Tuesday, July 16, from sunrise to sunset, in honor of former New York State Assembly Majority Leader James R. Tallon Jr.
“Majority Leader Jim Tallon exemplified devotion to his family, his community and the state to which he gave a lifetime of service,” Hochul said. “We owe an extraordinary debt of gratitude for Jim’s leadership on health care access and affordability, and his commitment to bettering the lives of the most vulnerable. My heart goes out to his wife, Norma, and all his loved ones.”
Raised in Binghamton, Tallon served in the Assembly from 1975-93, including time as chair of the health committee and as majority leader. He is survived by his wife Norma; his children: James, Michael and Edward; and five grandchildren. A celebration of life ceremony for Tallon will be held at Celebrations on Park in Binghamton on July 16.
