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. Voters are being asked to grant the municipality the authority to sell the parcels, if it so chooses. They total approximately 2.1 acres and are located off […]
We’re extremely gratified that so many people are running for seats on the Oxford Board of Education. Nine people running for three, four-year seats is fantastic! More candidates, more input, more ideas, more voices – it’s all good. But this is a race and there can be only three winners. We recommend voters cast their […]
Let’s get straight to it. 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 […]
There are three candidates for two, four-year seats on the Oxford Village Council. They are Dave Bailey, Rose Bejma, and Erik Dolan. There is only one candidate for the two-year council seat and it’s Tom Kennis, an incumbent, who’s running as a write-in. For full profiles on each of the candidates, pick up your copy […]
Truckers beware because Oxford Village is beefing up its efforts to catch those of you who violate state law and local ordinances. Last week, council voted 5-0 to create a part-time commercial vehicle enforcement officer position. “This certainly, I think, is needed,” said Police Chief Mike Neymanowski, who presented the idea to council. The position […]
Rezoning approved Four parcels of property on the east and west sides of Louck St. were rezoned from multiple family residential to industrial in a 5-0 vote of the Oxford Village Council last week. Located at 32 and 45 Louck St., between Church and Center streets, east of M-24, the parcels are owned by Industrial […]
A fond farewell was bid to a charter member of the Polly Ann Trail Management Council (PATMC). Addison Township Trustee Ed Brakefield, who’s served on the council since its inception in 1997, received a plaque bearing a silver-colored railroad spike. It was meant to be an expression of the PATMC’s “deepest gratitude” for the many […]
Depending how you look at it, a current fund-raiser at Kingsbury Country Day School in Addison Township is either very ironic or very appropriate. Since the beginning of October, the school has been selling socks in order to buy prosthetic legs for people in need around the globe So far, things our going very well. […]
