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 […]

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 […]
