I am tired of thinking the majority will be able to apply pressure for how the city should make
decisions, only for the city to appoint whomever they would like, based on ties to BozemanTenants United, and nothing actually happen.
According to local realtors, 21% of these 'luxury' apartments are vacant. We found out that
you allowed developers to pay you off, instead of actually put in affordable units, like YOUkept promising.
Enough. No more nepotism for developer payoffs.
The residents of Bozeman need to vote for who WE want serving, not you.
For the study commission of Gallatin County, I wanted this study to happen, as did the
majority - 2/3- of Bozeman. We need these changes to happen. I want special elections to fillthese seats moving forward. If someone is temporarily filling a seat, they do NOT
automatically get that seat, or to immediately run for that seat.
Thank you.
Ashley
