Empire Government Strategies(EGS) has been named the third fastest growing firm in New York State among newly registered lobbying companies during the year 2009, according to a study released by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG).
 
EGS is headed by Arthur Jerry Kremer, former Assembly Ways and Means Chairman and Anthony M. Figliola, former Deputy Supervisor and head of the Town of Brookhaven's Economic Development Office.
