I believe that the continuation of luxury construction in Bozeman is putting the health and safety of our entirecommunity at major risk. I am being told that my work is 'essential' however I am working on dirty constructionsites with many other people who could potentially carry the virus. Contractors will not stop work since theybelieve the Governor's mandate states all construction is essential. I do not believe the luxury properties I ambuilding are 'essential' to the function of the country / infrastructure right now. I am putting my family at risk, andmy company said if I refuse to work, I will not get pay, or be eligible for unemployment. Also, we now have otherworkers coming in from out of state jobsites which have already been shut down. Bozeman will continue to be a hotspot if non essential commercial projects are not stopped immediately.Thanks for hearing my opinion.
