Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - January 2, 2009

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

A PACKED HOUSE, MELE, OLI, A STRING QUARTET, HUGS AND LEI...THEY WERE ALL PART OF THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES THIS MORNING AS THE 2009 MAUI COUNTY COUNCIL WAS SWORN IN FOR THEIR TWO-YEAR TERM. ALONG WITH RETURNING MEMBERS, WAYNE NISHIKI AND SOL KAHO'OHALAHALA TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE TO FILL THE ROSTER OF NINE. THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER WAS FORMER GOVERNOR GEORGE ARIOSHI. THE COUNCIL HAS IT'S WORK CUT OUT - WITH THE MESSY TRANSIENT VACATION RENTAL ISSUE AND SOARING ECONOMIC CHALLENGES FIRST ON THE AGENDA.

AND THE JUDGES SAY "NO." TODAY THE HAWAII JUDICIARY SAID THEY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE'S PROGRAM TO FREEZE SALARY INCREASES FOR HIGH-PAID STATE OFFICES. THEY'LL GET THEIR 10 PERCENT RAISES JULY FIRST, ON TOP OF THE 13.5 PERCENT RAISES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS - AND ANOTHER 13.5 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT TWO TEARS.

ISLAND WEATHER, SCATTERED SHOWERS TONIGHT - WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S. BREEZY TOMORROW WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S.
