With little fanfare, West Windsor Township Council introduced a $39.9 million municipal budget for 2017 Monday night, clearing the way for a public hearing and final action at its April 24 meeting., The proposed budget is approximately $500,000 more than the 2016 municipal budget of $39.4 million. Some of the increase is due to increases in health insurance and pension costs., The proposed budget calls for raising $23.9 million in property taxes to support the spending plan. Other sources of income include $4.7 million in surplus funds and $860,000 in miscellaneous revenues (including fees and permits, alcoholic beverage licenses and municipal court fines)., The budget also anticipates $700,000 in hotel taxes.
