Anchorage, AK – Unemployment up from 8 to 8.1%. Everybody's in their home again in Savoonga after a severe winter storm caused power lines to arc, shutting off power, which led to frozen and burst pipes. The state is opening an assistance center in Savoonga so people can apply for disaster-related grants. The Municipality is looking for 600 Election workers for April election.
