I am writing in complete and utter disbelief after the leaked video of two of the most powerful
City public officials mock us and our City. The Community Development Director highlights
how we complain about you, her, and City Manager Mihelich upending our lives and
neighborhoods with your misguided housing agenda that favors developers and violates our
rights in the process. This shows a complete lack of awareness and empathy for how your
policies are adversely impacting us. During a recent City Commission meeting vote on Harper’s
Corner, Commissioner Coburn is belittling the people’s concerns about the proposed
development and its impact on them.
The actions of these two clowns call into question the integrity of the planning and
development process when they expressed this much lack of regard and empathy for the
residents it deeply affects. All development proposals should be paused immediately.
This is a disgraceful, shameful day for the people of Bozeman who the people we entrust with
enormous power, trust, and authority turn against us.
We at the Better Bozeman Coalition are working so hard to protect our homes and
neighborhoods, while you hire these two epitomes of public malfeasance to oversee tearing
them apart. This shows an utter lack of judgement and I am calling for Commissioners
Cunningham, Coburn, and by extension appointed Commissioner Fischer to resign for
appointing people who put us in this position and for a special election to replace them.
Commissioners Joey Morrison and Jennifer Madgic are the only two with the integrity and
decency to run this City right now.
This will be my oral comments at the City Commission meeting addressing this most serious of
issue as well.
