The News Roundup on The Point: WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran discusses the top local news stories of the week with journalists from our region. Among his guests are Tim Wood, editor of the Cape Cod Chronicle, Sally Rose of the Provincetown Banner, Joshua Balling of the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror, Jim DeArruda, of the New Bedford Standard Times, and Nelson Sigelman from the Martha's Vineyard Times.
Among the stories they discuss this week: the Falmouth Board of Selectmen vote to seek a permit from the town's Zoning Board of Appeals for a controversial town-owned wind turbine; the former chief financial officer of the Woods Hole Research Center and the International Fund for Animal Welfare is arrested and charged with stealing prescription drugs from a family that rents a house from her; an overdose death in Provincetown leads to a warning about potentially deadly heroin in the area; and members of the fishing community come out strongly against a waterfront casino in New Bedford.
