With my ballot being delivered yesterday and the upcoming election I am having a difficult time deciding on the Bozeman Study Comissions proposal to change to non-partisan elections.

On the one hand I dont think all of positions listed need to a political party affiliation, but unlike supreme court justices there is a much lower barrier of entry to these positions. The jobs of these elected officials are the most powerful and direct control over my day to day life. I think the change from a R county attorney to a D has made a marked improvement in the county. As an example revelation of the unprosecuted SA files a few years ago. Without this change in leadership I doubt this would have come to light.

For myself I am not well versed in nitty gritty details of each elected person and often utilize the party affiliation (among other details) to make a choice. So I went searching for some information and research on when/if non-partisan elections are a better system. I found this lecture from Dr David Parker back in 2019 and it was both informative and has helped me make a decision on this particular proposal.

Obviously this comes from a partisan source but I haven't found any data/studies that show it makes a big improvement at this hyper local level. What are your opinions on the proposed change?

Hello all,

I’m planning a bachelor party in Bozeman. We don’t want to be smack dab in town, but we do want to be able to easily uber in and out if we decide to go out to some bars.

I’m exploring some Air BnBs in the Springhill Park area and Kerns.

Do you think I’ll have any trouble getting an uber from these areas?

Hey guys I plan to establish residency in Montana but I do not know how to get instate tuition, as there’s apparently a lot of complications, does anyone know how, so I don’t have to go in debt? Or does anyone have any tips? I’m moving from AL, if that helps.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced plumber who could install a standalone bathtub and toilet? My property is in Ennis. Any leads would be appreciated!

This should bring a lot of jobs to Bozeman! Yay!

Could use some help finding a consumer protection attorney in Montana. I have a Jeep Wrangler which is a lemon under Montana law and have really struggled finding an attorney to take on the case. It’s not to say I don’t have a case. The GM at Billion told me to aggressively pursue a case due to our car being in the shop more than 4 months with an ongoing safety issue. It’s simply that every attorney I’ve reached out to replies that they don’t practice Lemon law. I’d really appreciate any direction from someone who’s been thru this and was successfully able to find a competent attorney practicing this specialty.

Im 24 and single looking for people to hang out with / build a relationship with. Bars aint really my vibe and all the suggestions for clubs seem a bit higher than my age demographic, at least the ones I have seen. Any tips or suggestions i guess?

Does anyone have recommendations for a good therapist in Bozeman who has experience working with adults with ADHD and depression?

I’m also looking for someone who can help with motivation, feeling stuck in life/career, and figuring out a sense of direction.

Ideally someone who combines traditional talk therapy with a more practical, action-oriented approach.

Would love to hear any personal recommendations or experiences. Thanks!

turns out it was a murder and suicide :(
