After months of debate, public hearings and meetings, the 2025 Tompkins County Budget was approved Tuesday night.
The Common Council passed the budget for the 2025 fiscal year after multiple proposals to cut costs failed following outcry from city staff.
The Common Council delayed a formal vote on its 2025 budget on Wednesday. All but one of the 14 speakers who commented on the budget during the public hearing and public comment sections of the meeting expressed concerns over the impact of the tax rate increase on homeowners.
