Impact analysis
A business license tax could bring in roughly $1.3 million a year — a fraction of the $4-5 million annual gap.
All residents if new revenue closes the budget gap and protects services.
Windsor businesses would pay a new tax if a license tax is adopted; residents could pay more under a sales tax.
