Freedom of the Press: The Birthright of The Oswego Post
“No nation ancient or modern ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves.”
John Peter Zenger
It was just over a year ago that my family and I moved to Oswego. After living in the Chicagoland area for 10yrs, the thought of moving further west was not idyllic; not more than a dot on most maps, Oswegoland wasn’t necessarily on our list of places to consider. But, after spending time in the area and speaking to friends and acquaintances who had made the move, we decided it was worth the leap. [Read more…]

Press Release: Door-to-Door Sales Scam Alert
Oswego Police are warning residents of a scam involving young men and woman, between 18-25 years old, going door-to-door either trying to sell magazine subscriptions or other services, such as cleaning windows or doing landscaping. Their ultimate goal is to get victims to write a check to a company called Quality Subscriptions Inc (QSI) with the expectation of something in return. The manner in which these transactions are being conducted is often misleading to the residents. They portray themselves as either living in the local area or being friends with someone in the neighborhood. They apparently are contracted by a company out of Georgia called Quality Subscriptions Inc (QSI) or United Family Circulation. There are numerous complaints about the company and their sales associates on the internet.
The Village of Oswego requires most solicitors to obtain a permit and provide their personal information for a background check prior to conducting business within city limits. Residents are encouraged to ask solicitors to show their permit before engaging in business.
