WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts a discussion with area journalists about the top local news stories of the week. 

Joining Sean this week are Anne Brennan of the Cape Cod Times; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Sara Brown of the Martha's Vineyard Gazette; Andy Tomolonis of the New Bedford Standard Times; Anne Wood of the Provincetown Banner; Joshua Balling of the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror; and Nelson Sigelman of the Martha's Vineyard Times.

Among the stories they discuss this week: plans are underway to move the existing homeless shelter out of downtown Hyannis, but it's not exactly clear where it will go; the MashpeeWampanoag tribe announces it intends to begin construction of a tribal casino in Taunton during the first week of April; a surprising number of sharks spent time in Wellfleet Harbor last year; a local inn gets hit with a 30-day suspension after a series of alleged problems at the business; a homeland security officer is cleared of intoxicated while driving charges; Falmouth selectmen agree on who will take care of Nobska Light; and Sandwich officials move to close the local skateboard park.
