Top issues during term (5)(Taxes Budget)
Town health insurance switch to Tompkins County consortium
Monthly premiums actually dip slightly — singles drop about $14 and families about $25 from 2026 rates — easing cost pressure on the town and its employees.
Highway department project costs
About $371,825 total, both budgeted; the truck came in $12,558.82 under budget.
Property Assessments and Taxes
Could shift some property tax burden if a broad exemption is adopted; current town exemption levels already reduce affected veterans' bills by thousands.
Planning Board vs. Supervisor over engineer hire
Miller's engineering work is funded by developer escrow deposits at no cost to the town, per his proposal.
2026 fee schedule increases
Higher permit and service fees for residents and businesses starting in 2026.
