WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts a discussion about the top local news stories of the week. Joining him this week are Patrick Cassidy of the Cape Cod Times; Joshua Balling of the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror; Jim DeArruda at the New Bedford Standard-Times; and Nelson Sigelman of the Martha's Vineyard Times.
Among the stories they discuss this week: A criminal case against the leader of a local housing group will not go forward, though questions remain about how a local couple found themselves in a new home provided by the organization; some community leaders are calling for the homeless shelter in Hyannis to be relocated; the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station had to begin powering down for a short period of time after water temperatures in Massachusetts Bay went too high; the iconic Gay Head Light is shining again on Martha's Vineyard; what would be the first apartment complex on Nantucket gets a green light; and two elephants at a New Bedford zoo will not be leaving for Tennessee after an independent report concludes it's best if they stay put.
