Rep. Herron Requests Disaster Relief For Quinhagak Fishermen

Following the closure of Quinhagak's CVRF commercial fishing venture, House Rep. Bob Herron visited the village Thursday and says he's sent a request to the governor's office asking for disaster relief funds for the village's fisherman. 

Herron says that he does not know how much relief the village stands to receive, and that he's aware of other communities unable to fish commercially that are also suffering economically.
