Hi and thank you for providing the opportunity to comment on our local government. I am not
knowledgeable at all on government but just have some general wishes for our special town ofBozeman. I am not even sure if this commission studies just the city or the county as well.
My ideas are: implement a sales tax!
lower rental prices,
less growth (hopefully not incompatible with lower rents)
preserving as much open space and trails as possible
another city swimming pool
support a vital central downtown
shift some city/county income away from property taxes
Thank you, Mary Lou Carlson
