Resort Tax board promotes voting ahead of May election

Ahead of an upcoming election with serious implications for Big Sky’s future, Big Sky leaders are pushing hard to educate the community and encourage voter participation.

Kevin Germain, board chair of the Big Sky Resort Area District, praised his fellow Resort Tax trustees for their work distributing information about the Livable Big Sky voter education campaign. It focuses on three BSRAD-related ballot initiatives: renewal of Big Sky’s 3% resort tax through 2065; long-term BSRAD debt to fund the Cold Smoke workforce housing neighborhood; and long-term BSRAD debt to fund renovations of the Big Sky Community Park.

“If you do not know about this election, you do not live in Big Sky,” Germain said during the March 13 BSRAD board meeting.

Board member Sarah Blechta said voting gives a voice to residents, many of whom often express a desire to have a say in local affairs.
