Thanks for the coverage

 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).

Grab for power

 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, […]

Teen Center?

 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.

Single hauler is the way

 I’d like to express my gratitude and excitement to the township board for their foresight and action regarding a single trash hauler in Oxford. I didn’t think I could get this excited about garbage, but here I am and the benefits are almost too good to be true, to name a few: 1. Less clutter […]

Letters To The Editor

Details count with single waste hauler plan I read the article about Oxford Township’s hearing set for April 12 where single trash hauler is to be discussed. I like the idea of a single trash hauler. But details, details can make or break any good plan. I have experience in Waterford and Bloomfield with the […]
