The Tupper Lake Town Board is slated to hold two public hearings beginning at 4 p.m. Monday at town hall, both concerning the proposed 2026 town budget. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the first hearing is for public comment on the budget itself, and the second is for public comment on a local law that would need to be passed in order to override the 2% tax increase cap for the budget, which is set by the state. The current proposed budget is set to increase tax rates by 3.85%, according to town Accountant Samantha Davies.
