Stand4Oxford is deeply disappointed by Council’s refusal once again to rein in spending and provide real relief to Oxford County taxpayers. While a few councillors—Mayor Acchione, Mayor Gilvesy, and Councillor Tait—showed genuine appreciation for residents’ concerns, the majority chose the same familiar path of higher costs, more consultants, and little acknowledgement of the financial pressures facing families, seniors, and local businesses.
Residents came to Council in good faith, offering constructive solutions and asking for responsible stewardship during a time when many are struggling. Council’s decision signals a disconnect from the realities in our community—and people are noticing.
Let us be clear: 2026 is an election year. Oxford County deserves leaders who listen, who lead with transparency, and who put the public interest ahead of bureaucratic expansion. Stand4Oxford will continue to engage, inform, and mobilize residents who expect better from their elected representatives.
The message from the community is growing louder: We are paying attention.
