Dear Commissioners, I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed increases in levies for city services of 7% over
each of the next two years. For decades, city commissioners have failed to collect the allowable impact fees for new
development, arguing that growth and increases to the tax base were desirable. It is now glaringly apparent that this
is, and always has been, false. Please adopt policies that do not force long term residents with Montana salaries to
subsidize new million dollar houses. I really do not know if we will be able to stay here after working for decades to
make MSU a better (not bigger!) university, simply because we will not be able to afford this trajectory. It is time for
you to make concrete decisions that stop the never-ending increase in costs for longterm residents. Thank you,
Scott Creel
