HAPPY
NEW YEAR - 2013
The
Oakland Republican Club wishes everyone a very Happy and
Healthy New Year in 2013. It is our great hope that
leaders of our local governing body will work together
in 2013 for the betterment of all Oaklanders and
not in the self interests of their political party.
There is enough room at the table for all to sit.
As
President John F. Kennedy once said “So let us
begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is
not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject
to proof. Let both sides explore what problems unite us
instead of belaboring those problems, which divide us.
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic
answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the
blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility
for the future.”

BREAKING NEWS
In light of the Mayor's apology at the October 24th
Council meeting regarding her article in the Fall issue
of the Oakland Crossroads, and in the sprit of
cooperation and Bipartisanship, we have withdrawn the
article regarding the 2012 Budget and the incorrect
categorization that the Zero tax increase for 2012 in
our Municipal Taxes was the result of using Surplus or
Trust Fund monies to achieve that stabilization.
The
Zero percent tax increase for 2012 was achieved through
the hard work and cooperation of all Borough Department
Heads, Committees made up of hard working Volunteers and
the continued forward fiscal planning that has been the
hallmark of the the Republican Lead Council since 2006.
