Hello;
I have been a Gallatin County / Bozeman taxpayer for the past 21 years and am extremely concerned about
the proposed City Budget for the next two years. My City assessments have skyrocketed (not to mention the
County property tax, which has more than doubled in the past few years alone). What you are proposing
seems exorbitant.
I agree with the Bozeman Chronicle’s Opinion regarding the following:
Requested new city staffing levels and other budget requests should be based on the US
Census Department’s most recent Bozeman growth figure of 1.2%.
The City Commission should increase impact fees to the maximum allowable amount to
reduce the fiscal burden on citizens, who are already being overtaxed.
