Suburban governments in the region have been releasing their respective 2013 town budgets in the past week.  Buffalo News Suburban Editor Bruce Andriatch has more in this week's Press Pass with WBFO's Mark Scott.

Lancaster Town Supervisor Dino Fudoli released a budget that cut taxes.  Amherst Town Supervisor Barry Weinstein's plan increases spending but holds the line on property taxes.  And residents of several other towns, including the Town of Tonawanda and Orchard Park, will see slight tax increases. 

Andriatch says budget time remains a challenge for town governments.
