Dear Commissioners,
October 26, 2020
Word on the street is that you are about to vote on a
plan to raise money for Arts In Bozeman by means of a
fee of some sort on new construction in the City. I
propose that, although this is an admirable goal, doing so
in the midst of a pandemic virus, the number of infections
of which are dramatically rising in our community, is far
less than good timing. Further, addressing the growing
number of Covid cases in our home town might be seen
as more of a priority than a cultural project, no matter the
quality and long term goals. Although not a resident of
Bozeman, my long term commitment to this City’s culture,
I think, qualifies my comment.
Thanks for your attention,
Tim Crawford
