| How would you, as a township trustee, encourage cooperation among the townships and/or the city of Oxford? Please give three specific examples. | ||
I would encourage cooperation by educating the population, articulating a cooperative philosophy and insisting on parties participating with an open mind. Almost everyone I have spoken with does not realize those living inside the city limits are also residents of the township. Realizing we are all part of the same community we may start to take ownership, work together and make a difference. Our community should not be defined by an invisible line. | ||
