If Bozeman, according to the results of the 2020 City survey, is still 90% white, why should that group be
marginalized by the city or county commissions? While the smaller minorities should be treated as well as everyone
else, their voices shouldn’t carry more weight than the majority.
I am so puzzled by white people disrespecting their own race. I’m very proud of my ancestors and their courage and
accomplishments. Everyone should be proud of their ancestors too.
People move here to experience the Old West and the Montana way of life. Don’t crush it for us.
I am also in favor of ward representation and yes, they should reflect the opinions of the residents in their ward.
Respectfully, Lathie Poole, Bozeman.
