“Environmental issues are my area of expertise and I’m glad to be able to share my knowledge with my colleagues as we review bills during this legislative session,” Tryon said.

According to Tryon, the Environment Committee reviews all legislation and policies that have the potential to impact air, land and water quality in Illinois.
