State Sen. Albert Kookesh, a Democrat, hopes to take his recent subsistence violation to a federal court. Kookesh and three other Angoon residents were cited by state troopers on July 12th for catching more sockeye salmon in a beach seine than allowed under subsistence permit rules. Kookesh now says he’ll oppose the violation on grounds that the state has no jurisdiction over subsistence on federal lands.Robert Woolsey, KCAW – SitkaDownload Audio (MP3)
