Commissioners,
The Bozeman Daily Chronicle had a two stories Tuesday I was happy to see.
Thanks for the delay in the Story Mansion sale. I've written on this topic before, so there's no need to repeat. But I continue to believe the mansion is one of those treasures that makes Bozeman Bozeman. It's a worthwhile long-term investment for the city.
And thanks, too, for moving ahead on the broadband infrastructure. Jason Bacaj's article was the first I had heard of this effort. But I work remotely for a web-based Virginia company. I'm one of those residents for whom "high-speed connectivity is a critical infrastructure piece," as Brit told Jason. I'm glad to see the city investing in this.
So there you have it: the past and the future. Both are important.
Douglas
