While most districts are staying within the state’s tax cap, Scio Central is the only district in the county proposing a budget that requires a 60-percent "supermajority" override to pass. Meanwhile, Wellsville is proposing the largest spending increase at nine percent, though the district actually expects a slight decrease in the total property tax levy.And New York farmers are launching their annual road safety campaign as planting season hits high gear.
