Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners-
We've just finished perusing the comments regarding Jeff Mihelich and Anna Bentley's
behavior caught on video. Two of the letter writers encouraged you to acknowledge that allhumans make mistakes and to be compassionate toward Mr. Mihelich. They are right. We
should be compassionate. However, being compassionate and forgiving when somebody errsdoesn't mean allowing them to escape the consequences of their actions and mistakes. In fact,
if they are allowed to do so, it damages not only them, but everyone around them. Mr.Mihelich has exhibited a pattern of misbehavior that has culminated in this video and will
never be able to regain the public's trust in Bozeman. Consequently, you have a responsibilityto dismiss him from his position immediately so the city can move forward and address the
many priorities and challenges facing us. We will not be able to do that if Mr. Mihelichremains in his position.
Thank you,
Marcia and Dan Kaveney
