• Whitehall draft budget lowers spending, omits key costs (nyvtmedia.com) — Whitehall village leaders are weighing a 2026-27 budget that slightly lowers the tax levy and significantly drops the tax rate after a reassessment, but still leaves major water, sewer and code-enforcement costs unsettled. Residents should watch for the April 15 budget hearing and possible creation of a shared, potentially full-time code enforcement officer serving both the village and town.
   

• Washington County Police Report- April 1-15, 2026 (nyvtmedia.com) — Recent Washington County police activity includes an arrest of a Whitehall resident accused of taking an ATM from a Main Street laundromat and now due in Whitehall Village Court.
