A proposed ordinance mandating the registration and inspection of all residential rental properties in Oxford Village is officially off the table – for now. Last week, council voted 4-1 to remove the issue from further consideration at this point. This is the second time since 2013 that council has discussed a rental ordinance, then dropped […]
Outgoing Addison Township Board Trustees John Boehmer and Ed Brakefield were each recently presented with plaques commending their individual terms of service. Boehmer, who was absent from the meeting, served as trustee on the Addison Township Board for eight years and served 10 years on Addison Township’s Zoning Board of Appeals. “The township of Addison […]

Two odd-shaped parcels of vacant land are on the laundry list of items that Oxford Village voters will decide the fate of in the Nov. 8 general election.

We strongly encourage Oxford and Addison voters to REJECT the proposed 20-year, 1.2-mill property tax to pay for the grandiose plans of the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) of Southeast Michigan. Bottom-line, it’s a slick scam designed to bilk north Oakland County residents out of their hard-earned dollars. Make no mistake, […]
This really is a no-brainer. We strongly encourage Oxford Village residents to vote YES on the six charter amendments listed on the Nov. 8 ballot. These amendments are designed to update the charter, bring it into compliance with state law and ensure greater accountability in village government Keep in mind, the charter hasn’t been significantly […]
It doesn’t get much more low-key than the race for Oxford Village Council with three candidates seeking two, four-year positions. Things have been mighty quiet. But that doesn’t make it any less important – only refreshing given the nasty, much-too-long race for the White House. We strongly encourage voters to elect D. Erik Dolan to […]

The position […]
