A dispute between an Alaska boater and the National Park Service will be heard by the highest court in the country this week (Weds Jan. 20). As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, lower courts have rejected Anchorage resident John Sturgeon’s suit challenging Park Service authority to regulate Alaska rivers, where they pass through federal conservation units.
