National Weather Service is warning of power outages across Southern New England, including the Cape, South Coast and Islands with Henri.

The debate over mask requirements in schools heats up, misreporting data in New Bedford re-awakens the debate over school resource officers, and a verdict of 2nd degree murder in the trial of a man accused of killing a Yarmouth police officer. These are some of the top stories in the local news roundup.

Guests for this week's show include Jessica Hill with the Cape Cod Times; CAI’s Elsa Partan and Jennette Barnes; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Noah Asimow at the Vineyard Gazette; Ed Miller the Provincetown Independent; Will Sennott with the New Bedford Light; George Brennan of the Martha’s Vineyard Times; and Jason Graziadei with Nantucket Magazine.

Sam Houghton left CAI in February, 2023, to become News Editor at the Martha's Vineyard Times.
He worked at CAI since the summer of 2017. Before that, he worked at the Falmouth Enterprise, where he covered local politics.
