Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 8th of July.
Good morning, Bozeman.
Trial for Lilly LaRoque, charged with vehicular homicide in the crash that killed 17-year-old Delaney Doherty, was disposed by Judge Andrew Breuner today—the Gallatin County Attorney's office plans to appeal after key blood evidence was suppressed.
A federal funding freeze announced on July 1 is impacting after-school programs like kidsLINK — a Greater Gallatin United Way program that helps many families access low-cost child care.
The organization is launching a fundraiser to raise $500,000 ahead of kidsLINK registration opening on August 4 — and it said summer funding remains stable.
Construction started this morning on 19th Avenue and will run daily from 7 to 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. as crews repave the road and update markings between Main Street and Kagy Boulevard.
Nick Ross said the project extends south from the ongoing North 19th effort and may cause temporary turning restrictions—drivers are asked to choose alternate routes—as work lasts about a month subject to weather.
