This week President Trump suspended the country's refugee program for at least four months. As a result, a local refugee support nonprofit says they've already lost funding and had to cut staff. And Trump issued an executive order declaring he would not permit any new offshore wind farms. We hear from a maritime lawyer about what this could mean for the offshore wind projects under development in our region. Also, in a world of smartphones and GPS, why run a store that sells maps? The owner of The Map Center in Pawtucket says that, unlike the apps, the maps he sells are works of art that tell stories about our world. That and more on this week’s show.
