📰 News we're reading
• Patterson Eyes 4% Budget Increase (putnampresstimes.com) — Patterson officials are weighing a 2027 town budget that would boost spending by just over 4%, likely pushing property taxes beyond the state’s usual cap. Rising utility costs, new Dorset Hollow water system fees, and EMS building debt are key drivers, with fire department budgets and garbage contracts still to be finalized before an October 7 public hearing. 
• Obstructed license plate leads to felony gun bust (midhudsonnews.com) — A routine traffic stop in Patterson for an obstructed license plate and expired registration led deputies to discover a loaded handgun and arrest a Danbury, Connecticut man on felony firearm charges. He lacked a valid pistol permit, was arraigned in Patterson, released without bail, and faces additional traffic tickets while his vehicle was towed.
