Adirondack Daily Enterprise Publishes Two Guest Commentaries

The Adirondack Daily Enterprise published two Guest Commentaries by Board Member Tim Follos in December 2024. He described issues related to the 2025 Town budget recently passed by the Town Board. The vote was three to two in favor of the budget. Supervisor Smith and Board Members Forbes and Terry Preston voted for the budget. Board Members Follos and Driessigacker Hooker voted against the budget. Follos and Driessigacker Hooker wanted more time to look over the budget. Supervisor Smith was quoted as saying he just wanted to "get this over with." Follos noted that he and Driessigacker Hooker proposed several ways to reduce the property tax levy so that the town could stay within the state "tax cap." The other board members did not want to consider those options. A link to the commentary published in the Daily Enterprise on December 18, 2024 can be found here.
