Midday Report – June 06, 2024

On today’s Midday Report with host Terry Haines: One person has died and another is at a local hospital after two boats collided south of Petersburg yesterday. Anchorage police officers have been involved in a spate of shootings. And Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins of Maine were the only Republican senators to vote yesterday to advance a bill that would put the right to contraception into federal law.
