Points North: Great Lakes fisheries missed out on millions in pandemic aid

Amanda Holmes

This week we look into why commercial fishers in the Great Lakes have been left out of federal aid for fisheries nationwide, to the tune of $300 million. (The Great Lakes got zero.)

A fettered market cost the regional fishery $50 million this spring, according to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.  

Also, we set the record straight on goldenrod. It's not to blame for your fall allergies.
