While I very much respect and appreciate Jennifer Madgic's service and commitment to the
Bozeman community....I feel like you couldn't have missed a greater opportunity to add a newmember to the city commission who better fits the future of our community as well as our
country. Chris Coburn was endorsed by a whopping 75% of the public commenters at themeeting last night. Clearly you had made up your minds prior to the meeting....begging the
question...why bother to have public comment?
Appointing a member of the BIPOC community as well as the LGBTQ community who ishighly qualified, highly educated and passionate about current issues that face our community
and nation would have sent a clear message to the community and state that Bozeman is anopen-minded and progressive community. Instead you chose to circle the wagons.
I hope Chris decides to run for the next commission seat available....and I can tell you I will
put all of my energy and resources behind him.
I am very disappointed in you all.
SincerelySherry Staub
