To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to you today to articulate my wholehearted endorsement for the immediate relief of the
citizenry of Bozeman from the nomadic invasion.
It's appauling that this has to be voted on, but todays world is nothing if not nonsensical.
My residence at Sundance at Baxter Meadows has long been overwhelmed with the disgraceful
presence of so-called campers who have been allowed
to ruin my neighborhood without consequence. This predicament isn't merely an eyesore, but a
substantial concern regarding cleanliness, safety,
disruption, and environmental sustainability. The threatening signs on many campers are preposterous,
especially since this is my neighborhood
and I have the right to walk where I want without being threatened or made to feel afraid. These
unknown persons have cultivated an atmosphere of
unease and insecurity.
As one of many who now work remotely from home, the ceaseless noise generated by the rusted and
ancient machinery used by the wheelless campers is
not only deafening but disturbing to our day-to-day lives, including our ability to sleep, impeding our
ability to do our jobs. It is with these jobs that
we, the legal citizens of Bozeman, pay our taxes and bills which by law ensures us our rights and
protection by the city (you). My rights have been violated
not only by the nomads but by my own elected officials. You are not in your current position to ignore
your responsibilities to your people. However, you have ignored
us all for years. Now you will vote, as if that is warranted, and you WILL vote to get rid of the cancer
taking over Bozeman, AS IS YOUR DUTY.
I anticipate a favorable outcome from the forthcoming vote, and a future of ensured protection of our
rights by the government we the citizens of Bozeman have elected.
Disappointed Regards,
Emery
