Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - December 16, 2009

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

THE WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT TURN SLOWLY. AT THIS HOUR HUNDREDS ARE STILL WAITING TO TESTIFY AT THE STATE WATER RESOURCES HEARING ON MAUI. THE UPSHOT IS WHETHER STREAM FLOWS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THEIR NATURAL STATE IN EAST MAUI. MEANWHILE THE INTERESTS OF COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE - PRIMARILY HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL AND SUGAR - ARE HOPING FOR A RULING THAT WILL KEEP THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE - AND HAVE BEEN FOR MORE THAN 125 YEARS.

IN HONOLULU TODAY TALKS STALLED BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND THE TEACHERS UNION. AT STAKE ARE FURLOUGH DAYS FOR 2010. NO NEW TALKS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED.

AND IN WASHINGTON D.C., A HOUSE COMMITTEE HAS PASSED THE AKAKA BILL. OBSERVERS SAY MUCH WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE HAWAIIAN SELF-GOVERNANCE LEGISLATION BEFORE IT REACHES THE FULL HOUSE FOR A VOTE.

ISLAND WEATHER - THE VOG IS SUPPOSED TO CLEAR OUT WITH FRESH TRADE WINDS TOMORROW. TONIGHT EXPECT HAZY SKIES AND A LOW IN THE UPPER 50S. TOMORROW, EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
