I strongly recommend that the City Commission fully fund a Right to Counsel program for tenants in the city of
Bozeman. In my own dealings with an unreasonable property manager, I knew that being unable to afford a lawyer
put me at a disadvantage. A Right to Counsel program would provide me and other tenants like me with the
representation we need to make the proceedings fair. In addition, by reducing evictions, such a program would
reduce homelessness in Bozeman and save the city money in the long run. Jacob Burgo 1504 S Rouse Ave, Bozeman,
