Eight Aleutian businesses were awarded $3,000 each in grants in late April as part of a new “micro grant” program; a group of law professors is critical of the Ninth Circuit for a March split ruling, which cleared the way for a land swap to create a lifesaving road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge; and hundreds of voters in Alaska watched the results in this year's Philippine national election.
Theo Greenly reports from the Aleutians as a Report for America corps member. He got his start in public radio at KCRW in Santa Monica, California, and has produced radio stories and podcasts for stations around the country.
