Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

A new policy on epidemic diseases is up for debate at Wednesday’s school board meeting — signature gathering gets underway for the campaign to recall Alaska’s governor — and public records show most of Alaska’s congressional delegation didn’t get a resolution approved by Sitka assembly members.

In a Feb. 21 interview, Sen. Lisa Murkowski sat down with KRBD's Eric Stone to discuss Congress's war powers and election interference in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election. This is the full interview from Murkowski's Ketchikan office.

For a shorter version of this interview, check out the Feb. 24 edition of the KRBD Evening Report.

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

Sen. Lisa Murkowski talks presidential power and election interference — Amid legal threats, Skagway officials say they won’t renew a cruise dock lease with Carnival and Survey Point Holdings — and what the closure of a National Archives facility in Seattle means for Alaska.

All that and more coming up.

First, let’s take a look at the weather.

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

State officials now say regional ferry service will remain shut down throughout March and into April — Alaska geoduck clam divers are stuck sitting on the beach for another fortnight — and Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she’s ready to get back to work on behalf of Alaskans.

Ketchikan’s City Council asks the state to put environmental monitors back on ships — the partial shutdown of the state ferry system means schools have to look for alternative transportation — and a look back at the 37-year career of Petersburg’s favorite bus driver.

Borough officials approve $100,000 for tourism projects in Saxman — how the ongoing mainline ferry shutdown jeopardizes seniors’ access to healthcare — and an audio postcard from Elizabeth Peratrovich Day celebrations in the civil rights leader’s hometown.

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

Ketchikan’s city council will discuss a proposed undersea cable connecting the town with Metlakatla’s grid — plus, signature-gathering can start for the campaign to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy — and, from Sitka, what if you took a middle school band’s sheet music and replaced it with a drawing?

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

Though there are no confirmed cases in the state, some Alaskans are feeling ripple effects from the coronavirus — Saxman officials ask the borough for money to plan the town’s future — and there isn’t a bill in the legislature seeking to fix the budget gap. Why not?

Plus, on-air valentines!

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

Ketchikan’s interim superintendent now has a two-year contract — The governor proposes a replacement for the Ocean Ranger program — and with state ferries largely shut down, some businesses are having trouble getting freight out of town.

Tonight on the KRBD Evening Report:

A company vying to take over management of Ketchikan’s downtown cruise port answers questions about its plans — Alaskans turn out to support state ferries — and a new study says dead cedar trees could have business potential.
