Windsor ballot measure would trash competitive bidding for garbage contract

In November, voters in Windsor will be asked to get rid of a local law passed by Windsor voters in 1996.

That gave ordinary residents more say in local garbage service.

Measure is Q on the ballot in Windsor only. It would officially eliminate competitive bidding from the town's waste hauler selection process, and dump a ten-year limit on those contacts.

Why change now?

Alissa Johnson is on the board of directors of Windsor's Chamber of Commerce. She also works for Windsor's current trash hauler, Sonoma County Resource Recovery....one of the main drivers behind the ballot measure.
