"BSRAD to host local candidate forum ahead of May elections"
"On May 7, voters in the Big Sky community will submit mail-in ballots to decide numerous volunteer leadership positions for local special purpose districts.
The various local districts across Gallatin and Madison counties include school, fire, water and sewer, and the Big Sky Resort Area District (Resort Tax).
“[Local elections give] people a direct avenue to the people that affect their local governance. These are the people that make decisions on a real grassroots level,” Tammy Estensen, BSRAD communications director, told EBS. “These are the people affecting our everyday lives, impacting our community.”
To help excite and educate local voters about the candidates—who, once elected will make decisions with tangible effects on local issues—BSRAD has organized a candidate forum event on Tuesday, April 23 at The Waypoint."
