Looks like if you own an Android device, you need to wait for the real thing. This AP just shows ads, not news or weather.

If the Board of Selectman and the Board of Finance do not understand its respectiveRead More responsibilities, they must be voted out of office this year. We need knowledgeable people to run the town. Anyone less never should be involved with our tax dollars. If they don't know what they're doing or if they do, they are not responsible trustworthy elected officials. Come Nov., vote all of them out of positions they cannot or will not manage.

There is a relatively new playscape at posypanko for town use. The one at Center School is fromRead More before QFS was built. The monkey bars are too small for the kids to even fit under. My point is if there is money to spend, and we want a playscape, how about fixing one that is used everyday.

why does it need to cost so much is what I wanna know... 138K...that's half of what I paid for myRead More house and land! Sounds like someones got 138K that's burning a hole in their pocket. Cant we find a less expensive playscape the kids would enjoy? or have it built by volunteers? maybe some of the very numerous contractors and builders living in Oxford would volunteer some time and skill to this project or better yet, some of these out of town builders who are throwing up McNeighborhoods in town would like to kick in some time and materiel for this? Heck If they wanna build here in town, they can start with a playscape..no?

How about lowering taxes for once. Or not making the people that were screwed by a croupt townRead More offical pay the debts that the town says they now owe. Why not run a surplus or add to rainy day fund. Why do we as the town of oxford need to spend it just because its there? Let's rethink this plan there are plenty of parks and we cn find a different way to fund this one. Or here's a novel idea let's get garbage pick up for the town.
