Coming up this week: How the federal shutdown is affecting NOAA Fisheries and the National Weather Service; Thanks to Obamacare, being a fisherman is no longer considered “a pre-existing condition;” And, we have the latest in our on-going series of stories about people smuggling fish in their pants.
We had stories this week from KSTK’s Shady Grove Oliver in Wrangell and KFSK’s Joe Viechnicki in Petersburg. Thanks also to Deckboss blogger Wesley Loy and The LegHead Report’s Maggie Wall for their assistance this week.
