The town meeting form of government is part of what makes New England unique, and I am proud to have participated.

Tomorrow night the Board of Finance is holding a Public Hearing on Oxford’s budget. All residents are encouraged to attend and provide feedback on our proposed budget - the public hearing is at QFS at 7:00 p.m.

We spent the last several months meeting with each of the departments in town to understand their needs for the coming year. Now we want to hear about your priorities. These are your tax dollars, and decisions are made by those who show up.

You can review the Board of Finance’s proposed budget here: https://www.oxford-ct.gov/DocumentCenter/View/8054/BOF-Publich-Hearing

The past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the wet down celebration for Oxford Center Volunteer Fire Company’s new Rescue 44. It was a gorgeous day to welcome this gorgeous piece of apparatus. Thank you for opening the celebration to the community!

My heart is so heavy tonight. And I’m angry. Our servicemembers deserve so much more than this needless chaos. There’s not much else to say. I’m so sorry for their families.

The soldiers, who were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, were killed during an attack by an unmanned aircraft in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait.

The Board of Finance will hold a special meeting tomorrow night 2/26 at 6:00 p.m. (note the earlier time) to make up for our cancelled meeting on Monday. The most important piece will be setting our budget schedule, which will begin in March. Stay tuned for more on this! 💰

Oxford Public Schools will make a decision tomorrow morning, based on road conditions. It’s a hard balance they are trying to strike - between early notification and limiting the number of snow days we’ll have to make up. Either way, some people will be upset. I don’t envy them.
