Billings should follow the lead of Missoula and Bozeman and adopt an anti-descrimination ordinace. Billings should recognize civil unions and should support marriage equality. I do not pay taxes for my government to discriminate against my family, neighbors, and people I love. You shouldn't either.

The City of Billings needs a new building. The municipal court room is terrible. That room is also used for City Council meetings and it is miserable. We sit on hard seats in an ugly uncomfortable room. I can't say a single good thing about that room. We also need a new building for our police department. Visiting the Billings Police Department is like jumping back in time to the 1950's. Our Police Officers need and deserve better. Billings deserves better.

Change the name of the Salespersons' Breakfast to Billings Chamber Leadership Breakfast.

Billings needs a small park/green space east of downtone near MetraPark.

Automate the parking garages. This would save the City of Billings roughly $500,000 a year. That is money that could be spent on other important projects. There is no reason today to pay someone more than $34,000 + a year to sit in the booth in a parking garage. Technology has changed the world. We no longer have or need elevator operators. We no longer need and we should no longer have parking garage attendants.

The Chamber needs to get more involved with making Billings a more livable and diverse. The chamber should work closer with community leaders, city, county, cultural to promote all of this cities great assets. I believe that if we promote our cultural assets as well as our business, health, area, we will attract more and more business. National surveys continue to show that cities that enbrace and help promote their cultural richness are cities people want to live in and set up business in. So get more involved in promoting your cultural assets.

I would like to see our local police force increased to equal our growing population (ratio measured of course). The lack of an effective lobby in Helena has recently shown here in Billings. From our perspective (my social sphere of influence) more serious crimes are occurring along with the frequency. Our current force cannot effectively cover our expanding population and more and more of my friends and family have been victims of crime. We need a much more populated and visual police presence. Please contact each city council member to let them know how they are failing us. Thanks for your time and effort.
