Talk of Alaska: Social Impacts of Exxon Valdez Settlement

On Wednesday (Feb 27) the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in ExxonMobil's appeal of its punitive damage award from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill case. If the court doesn't stop it, a large wave of money will hit Alaska when the punitive damage award comes through. What will happen then? Our guests are preparing to document the social impacts when and if the money arrives.This week's Talk of Alaska is your chance to talk about the oil spill as the Supreme Court prepares to hear the appeal and we look back on what's happened in the nearly 19 years since the spill.HOST: Steve Heimel, APRNGUESTS:
