WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran discusses the top news stories of the week with local journalists, including George Brennan of the Cape Cod Times; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Sally Rose of the Provincetown Banner; Geoff Spillane of the Mashpee Enterprise; and Nelson Sigelman of the Martha's Vineyard Times.

Among the stories they discuss: customers of the Cape Light Compact will see a significant jump in electricity rates this winter; neighbors of Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich take their fight against a new aerial park to court; a tragic accident on Route 6 has prompted new discussions about a massive tree clearing effort in the median there; and Falmouth schools experience a Pertussis outbreak.
