📰 News we're reading
1. Auburn City Council passes budget after one week delay (localsyr.com) — Auburn’s new city budget is now approved after a delayed, closely debated vote that raises taxes but preserves all police officer positions. The plan trims school crossing guards and limits Casey Park Pool’s opening to about a month, while city leaders pledge clearer planning for next year. Residents can expect communication on school safety changes as details are finalized. 
2. Auburn man possessed a controlled substance during multi-vehicle accident, sheriff's office says (localsyr.com) — Authorities say a 41-year-old Auburn man injured in an April multi-vehicle crash in Sennett was later found to have possessed a controlled substance. He was arrested on June 6 on a felony drug charge and released after centralized arraignment, with a return date set for Sennett Town Court.
3. Auburn Woman Arrested For Felony Welfare Fraud (fingerlakesdailynews.com) — Law enforcement in Cayuga County report that a 27-year-old Auburn woman was arrested on a felony warrant after a welfare fraud investigation and then released following arraignment in Auburn City Court. Multiple county agencies collaborated on the case, which includes grand larceny and welfare fraud charges. Authorities emphasize their ongoing efforts to address fraud while noting the defendant is presumed innocent.
4. Auburn Firefighter Retires After Over 22 Years of Service (fingerlakesdailynews.com) — A longtime Auburn firefighter, Jeffrey Salvage, has retired after more than 22 years serving the City of Auburn across multiple companies and platoons. Colleagues credit him with strengthening firefighter fitness and being a steady presence on calls and in the station. He now steps away from duty but remains active locally as a musician with the band No Filter.
5. Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway bill heads to Hochul's desk (wgrz.com) — State lawmakers have approved a Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway that would run 173 miles from Auburn to Niagara Falls, and it now awaits Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature. The proposed scenic byway would highlight New York’s role in Tubman’s journey to freedom and could eventually boost heritage tourism linking Auburn to other Underground Railroad landmarks.
