Temple to Elected Officials: Now You Have to Live Up to Promises You Made

To the Editor: 

I would like to thank all the voters in Oxford for the confidence that they have shown in our administration. I learned a lot from speaking with the townspeople and we received many positive suggestions. For all the candidates who were successful, I congratulate you but also remind you that you now have to live up to the promises you made. For my part, I will continue to be positive about the town and make progress in town improvements. I also assure you that I will be keenly aware of the financial impact on our homeowners and will do my best to help keep taxes manageable.

Every race has a winner and a loser. Unfortunately some good people from the Democratic side did not get elected. To my party’s opponents, I extend my hand and ask you to contact my office if you would like to serve on a committee. Oxford Together means that there is no room for arrogance or gloating. We sincerely invite you to join us.

-- George Temple, first selectman, Oxford
