fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The tentative 2012 Ticonderoga budget calls for the elimination of the community summer youth recreation program. The program serves about 100 children a year, offering arts and crafts, sports, swimming and other activities. It also provides daily breakfast and lunch through a Deb Malaney federal food program. That’s one of the cuts in a $4.9 million proposed spending plan that falls within the new state-imposed 2 percent tax cap. The plan is not final, and Ticonderoga officials want to know the public’s 2012 budget priorities. That’s why trustees will hold an informational meeting Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m. in the Community Building auditorium. “It will be a casual, relaxed, informational meeting,” Supervisor Deb
