Bozeman forum offers information on candidates, ballot initiatives
BOZEMAN, Mont. — The first of two nonpartisan forums is in the books in Bozeman. The goal of the free events is to inform voters about Gallatin County races and ballot initiatives.
Two big topics talked about at the Public Safety Center were funding for the Gallatin Rest Home and a referendum that would require medical care for born-alive infants.
The rest home is trying to get a mill levy of up to nine mills, since there’s only one in Gallatin County. Backers say they need the funding to keep staff members and to keep up with the cost of living in Bozeman.
The next forum is set for Thursday, Oct. 20 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Organizers encourage residents to attend and bring questions for candidates.
The events are sponsored by the Bozeman Area League of Women Voters, the American Association of University Women, Bozeman Professional Women, Belgrade Community Library and Bozeman Public Library.
