Speaker 2 (00:10):
Sixty five degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
I'm Suzanne Soasville. Here's what's happening. President Trump's decision to
pause the Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode
Island is affecting fishermen in New Bedford. CBS News Boston's
Jacob Wikoff has that story.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
In New Bedford, Captain Jack Morris, a lifelong scalloper, had
recently found steady work supporting offshore wind construction. Crews like
his patrolled offshore sites, keeping the water safe as the
turbines went in.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
This has been a great thing for them, and it's
been a great thing for me and the boat.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But with the Revolution Wind project now frozen by the
Trump administration, those jobs are on hold and boats like
these are tied to the dock. My first thought was,
this is insane.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Everything's going good with the project. There's been no safety issues.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Cederal limits means scallop boats only get a handful of
days at sea each year. Offshore wind became a lifeline
in some cases, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over
the course of construction. The Revolution Wind project off the
coast of Rhode Island was about eighty percent built before
it was stopped mid construction.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
New Bedford Mayor John Mitchell says the city has always
been committed to making sure phishing and offshore wind can coexist.
Congress is locked in a funding standoff that could cause
a partial government shut down. CBS's Willie James Inman has more.

keep the government funded until November twenty first that would
maintain current spinning levels and includes eighty eight million dollars
in security funding to protect government officials, but the legislation
failed to reach the sixty votes required to break a
filibuster in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the House could vote on
a separate package that's focused on more funding for security
for government officials. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing,

We've had people involved in this race over the last
