CHARTER REVISION
Residents will be asked to decide whether to change the town charter to make the tax collector’s position hired, as opposed to elected. The question will appear on the ballot as follows:
Shall the town of Oxford adopt the proposed charter revision, which was approved by the Board of Selectmen on September 1, 2010?
A yes vote is a vote for a hired tax collector. A no vote is a vote to continue electing the tax collector.
The proposed charter changes are posted in the document below. The article continues after the document.
