Montana Morning State News Headlines for Tuesday, December 10
'Operation Warm' brought Missoula Rural firefighters to Head Start on Monday to deliver dozens of warm winter coats to underprivileged three to five year-old children.
Missoula police arrested a man who was sleeping in a convenience store restroom after finding he had outstanding warrants. He was taken to the Missoula County Jail.
For the first time, $15 million from the Coal Tax Trust has been used to fund development of affordable housing throughout the state.
A cloudy start will turn to sunshine later in the day in western Montana, with highs near 40.
