Oxford Public Library Millage Request Failed
by Bryan J. Cloutier 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Colleagues and Friends: Oxford Public Library failed to pass a Headlee Override (.4518 mills for a period of 10 years). This was our second attempt in three years for a similar request, both of which were unsuccessful. The results were: 2,213 No 1,743 Yes This was a dangerous and slippery directive from our public to live off the Fund Balance. Regards, Bryan J. Cloutier Library Director Oxford Public Library 530 Pontiac Road Oxford MI 48371-4844 Voice: 248.628.3034 x 211 Fax: 248.628.5008 Web: www.MiOPL.org

We even have three followers now! I say that on account Brigette just created the MAP Twitter "handle" a bit ago. To find us, follow the Twitter bird to http://www.twitter.com/MapPass2014 The MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info/ also has a new link to @MapPass2014 embedded in it.
