Dear Commissioners -
Soon you will be appointing a new commissioner. I hope when you do so you will remember
the election last November and appoint a commissioner who aligns with what the votersclearly wanted in that election.
Myself - and most of my friends - would like to have a commissioner who will listen to the
people in Bozeman who are trying to make our community more livable for everyone, and notjust for the ultra-rich and the developers. I have lived in Bozeman since 1988, and the last
decade has been tough for many of us. I don't know Alison Sweeny personally, but I have readthings she has posted, letters she has written, and her recent excellent editorial in the Bozeman
Chronicle. From all reports she is a hard worker and a good listener. I believe she will bringnew ideas to the table, and that she would make an excellent commissioner.
Please appoint Alison as the new member of the commission!
Thank you for your consideration of my opinion -
Karl Birkeland
