New Bedford has been selected as the sailing venue for the Boston 2024 Olympics proposal.

WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts a discussion of the week's top local news stories.  Guests are  Anne Brennan of the Cape Cod Times; Tim Wood with the Cape Cod Chronicle; Jim DeArruda at the New Bedford Standard-Times; Sally Rose at the Provincetown Banner; and Nelson Sigelman with the Martha's Vineyard Times.

Among the stories discussed this week: presidential candidate Hillary Clinton plans to visit Provincetown in July; Congress is debating the reauthorization of the nation's fishing regulations; certain populations of humpback whales may be removed from the Endangered Species List; a new state law is aimed to protect great white sharks; the region has seen several cases of fish poaching in recent weeks; it's not clear what's next for the town of Falmouth's two, town-owned wind turbines after the SJC refuses to accept a court appeal; and Mashpee selectmen vote to make the town police chief the town manager -- again.
