Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Windsor public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
2 issues in taxes budget with critical priority
1% sales tax measure on November ballot
Windsor faces an $8–10 million annual budget gap starting 2027 after $6 million in cuts. A 1% sales tax would raise about $5.5 million a year, close the deficit, and be paid partly by visitors — but no decision has been made yet.
Structural budget deficit and revenue options
Windsor is running a $4-5 million recurring structural deficit after using $8 million in reserves. A business license tax could raise about $1.3 million; a 1% sales tax about $5.5 million. More discussion comes March 11.
