In this episode of Local First News, we cover Representative Mary Peltola's introduction of the FISH Act, aimed at modernizing Alaska's fisheries management to address challenges such as overfishing and international competition. We also report on the U.S. Department of Justice's findings that the State of Alaska violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing accessible voting options, prompting immediate corrective actions. Lastly, we reflect on the significance of Juneteenth, a day marking the end of slavery in the United States, and the ongoing journey towards equality and human rights. Join us as we explore these pivotal stories shaping Juneau and all of Southeast Alaska.
