📰 News we're reading

• Southold's proposed budget stays below tax cap, raises levy by $1.3M (timesreview.com) — Fishers Island residents face a proposed 2027 Southold budget that keeps taxes under the state cap but still raises the levy by nearly $1.3 million, including $750,000 for a new Fishers Island highway facility. The plan boosts police and solid-waste spending, relies on fund balance, and schedules October work sessions plus November public hearings where residents can follow and react to the final tax impact.
