GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Mayor Walsh proposed a $348 million budget for 2026 that calls for a 2% property tax increase and a 2% water rate raise to help cover rising costs, while $27.2 million will be withdrawn from the city’s reserves. The plan also will hire additional code enforcement inspectors, boost funds for third-party permit reviews, and restructure IT departments after a $10 million payroll project failure (a move aimed at improving city services). Central Current
- ➤ Syracuse taxpayers may see higher property tax and water bills if Mayor Walsh's proposed $348.4 million budget is approved—raising rates by 2% and adding about $60 per year for a $100,000 home.

HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ A Syracuse nonprofit (MCC) is raising funds to build the county’s first in-patient substance abuse treatment center where women can live with their children while getting care, as the need grows with high rates of drug use during pregnancy.
