I read with interest the article in the Oxford Leader on Nov. 15, 2023 concerning the request for an RFP (Request for Proposal) for a single waste hauler for Oxford Township and it piques my interest of why this proposal has been brought back up after being shelved previously. As a former businessman who prepared […]
I have some questions for the author of “Everyone deserves to truly heal.” (Oxford Leader, Letters to the Editor, Nov. 15, 2023) The author wrote, “. . . people can also admit these people deserve empathy and compassion as much as any of us.” Wait what? What about the people who have refused to extend […]
I recently had the need to rely on our local Oxford sheriff, the police department, and fire and rescue personnel with emergency health issues on three occasions. I would be remiss if I didn’t point out to the public the great service these wonderful people provide for this city. Each and every person I encountered […]
Like everyone in our community, events of November 30, 2021, were crushing. Physically, mentally, and emotionally crushing.

Dear Editor, I attended the event last week in Clarkston, where Mary Margaret Patterson announced her candidacy for Oakland County Executive. It was thought-provoking and very well-attended. I’m convinced people in our county are looking for change. I have many concerns about the leadership of our county, including unwanted transit tax increases, gifts to foreign […]
Dear Editor, Many thanks for your wonderful coverage of the boat parade on Paint and Clear lakes. Our community is so lucky to have the Oxford Leader (July 12, 2023). I also really enjoyed the Peggy Reddaway reflection in Don Rush’s “Don’t Rush Me” column. Thanks for all you do! Glenn McTaggart Oxford
Dear Editor, The article in the May 24, 2023 Oxford Leader (Proposed mining bills would move permitting to state) about the proposal to give the State of Michigan the sole right to determine if a mining company can mine in your city, your village, your township or your backyard is a grab for power. And, […]
Ever wonder why there is a Senior Center and not a Teen Center? Senior Center’s give good reasons for Teen Centers. Senior Center’s offer older citizens a chance to socialize and mingle. As we age we lose many of our role purposes. In the normal course of life our children leave home, we retire and […]
