NOV. 5TH The Windsor Independent Party was formed to give Windsor voters more options in municipal elections. Previously, each party ran five candidates for the Town Council and the Board of Education. Nine people won; one person lost. The Windsor Independent Party believes the voters of Windsor deserve more choice in their elections. The group has endorsed four candidates for the Council and two for the Board of Education, giving Windsor voters more choices. The Windsor Independent Party believes our government should be more transparent, accountable and user-friendly. Budgets should be presented in a way that is understandable for the average voter. Residents should be able to participate in the political process and rules for participation should be consistent and understandable. Officials should respond to residents’ inquiries and be respectful to all members of the community. Public officials, including board and commission members should be held accountable to the voters. A number of our appointed commissions have a lot of power over the operation and development of the town, yet there is no way to currently hold these commissions accountable to the residents in town. The Windsor Independent Town Committee meets monthly to discuss issues in town and works to get endorsed candidates elected. The Windsor Independent Town Committee meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers at the Windsor Town Hall. All Independent and Unaffiliated voters are welcome to attend our meetings. Members of any party who are interested in learning more about the Windsor Independent Party or the Windsor Independent Town Committee can visit our website at www.windsorindependents.com and are welcome to contact Jeffery Ingram at (860) 219-0012 or [email protected].
