📰 News we're reading

• County Board continues review of 2027 budget recommendations (cottagegrovejournal.news) — Washington County is weighing a 7.9% levy increase for its 2027 budget, which would raise county property taxes on a median-valued home by about $67, while also funding major road, library, and park projects. For Oakdale residents, that includes reconstructing the CSAH 14 multi-use trail between Granada and Hadley and a cooperative maintenance agreement with the city, plus a Shop With a Cop event at Oakdale Target supporting local students.
