This week, our reporter, Maia Maganito, sits down with Bozeman’s Deputy Mayor, Douglas Fischer. Fischer was elected deputy mayor last November and will become mayor in 2028. Previously, the public official served on the Bozeman city commission and the BSD7 school board. Maganito’s interview, which was recorded a few months ago, delves into topics like the city budget, student advocacy, and public safety. While it was recorded several months ago, it offers a glimpse into Fischer’s governing philosophy and has timely insights about how Bozeman is working towards safer public places and infrastructure. Maia recorded her interview at a coffee shop, so you’ll hear some background noise throughout the recording. 

This week, Bozemanites gather on Main Street to protest the killings of two Minnesotans by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We’ll bring you conversations from early January with protesters and organizers attending a vigil for Renee Good and update you on the latest ICE activity in the wake of a second shooting in Minneapolis.
