Panhandling

The Montana Department of Justice revealed yesterday that the Labor Day Missoula officer involved shooting resulted in the death of a 35 year-old man. Two officers have been placed on administrative leave as per department policy.

After a great deal of public testimony at Monday night's Missoula City Council meeting, the issue of aggressive solicitation, or panhandling, was sent back to committee for further review.

In a meeting on Wednesday, January 22, the Missoula City Council met to discuss recommendations on revising the city ordinance on aggressive panhandling.

The Missoula City Council took public comment on Wednesday, January 9 on the challenge by the Montana ACLU over the current ordinance on panhandling.
