  • Summary

  • A Kodiak-based pollock trawler's accidental catch of 2,000 king salmon has led to the closure of a Gulf of Alaska fishery, causing layoffs and stranding $9 million worth of pollock. The closure is expected to cost millions in lost revenue and tax dollars.


    CBJ presented its first phase of a flood mitigation plan, which includes heavy-duty sandbags from the Army Corps of Engineers to protect four miles of riverbank. The plan could cost up to $2 million, with further discussions on funding scheduled for October 21.


    Alaska legislators have voted to limit protest signs in the state Capitol to 11x17 inches, following large protests earlier this year. The new rule aims to prevent disruptions while still allowing for public expression.


    An Alaska man convicted of cyberstalking will receive a new trial after it was revealed that the presiding judge, former U.S. District Court Judge Joshua Kindred, had inappropriate relationships with prosecutors involved in his case. Kindred's misconduct has prompted a review of over 40 cases.
