Dear City of Bozeman:
I just learned that yet another county has passed a resolution to make English its official language.
Polk County, Wisconsin just adopted an official English resolution.
I strongly support this effort of English unity and I urge you to introduce a similar resolution in ourcounty.
Rasmussen Reports found as recently as 2013 that high levels of support for official English haveremained unchanged for the past decade.
An overwhelming 85% of likely voters support official English.
It's time to limit taxpayer-funded translations and encourage English language learning in our county.
Thank you for listening to my concerns.
Sincerely,
Michael & Melissa Ruger4062084054
