I'm not sure if the commissioners are solely responsible for these appointments. I want to
point out that appointing Mark Egge is contrary to any attempt to appear to be working withthe residents of Bozeman. When the initial UDC was proposed, he continually championed it
as a way to keep affordable housing. While there is truth in keeping NOAH, that was notwhat had residents worried. The total re-zoning of Bozeman was a concern he basically
buried in every Next Door post or letter to the editor, until he admitted he is a "build, build,build" guy. He is entitled to his opinions but I understand there is a video of him trashing a
sign opposing the Guthrie. The city has had enough scandal. Please do not appoint a personwho has shown so little respect for those who think differently than he does. His presence on
the governor's housing task force also appears to be a conflict of interest. You can surelyappoint someone who will inspire some confidence in our local government. Thank you,
Mary Lou Osman
