Criticism for proposed rental registration

Oxford Village Council is looking to require landlords to register their rental properties. They say they need to keep track of where rentals are and how many there are. Why?

Thanks for the help

I would like to thank the three wonderful people (from the Oxford area) who came to my aid after my car caught fire on Oct. 22. As I was driving south on M-24 near Oakwood, the couple driving behind me and the Sheriff’s deputy who was driving a canine unit vehicle all three stayed with […]

Businesses pass taxes onto consumers

I believe there is one fact regarding the non-homestead millage proposal that is yet to be communicated to voters. This is not a tax on business but rather a tax on you the consumer. By its very nature business must pass on its costs in order to remain in business, all of its costs, taxes […]
