Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - February 10, 2010

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

MORE THAN 370 TOYOTA CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE BEEN SERVICED BY MAUI TOYOTA IN LIGHT OF THE WORLDWIDE RECALL OF MORE THAN EIGHT AND A HALF MILLION VEHICLES WITH GAS PEDALS THAT COULD GET STUCK IN THE FLOOR MAT OR JUST BY THEMSELVES. TODAY WE LEARN THAT THE TOYOTA PRIUS - WITH A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL - AFFECTS 26 OWNERS ON MAUI - INCLUDING MAUI MAYOR CHARMAINE TAVARES. STATEWIDE, BY THE WAY, THERE ARE 459 OF THOSE LITTLE ELECTRIC-GAS HYBRID CARS.

AND FIREWORKS WON'T BE BANNED STATEWIDE. YESTERDAY MAUI STATE SENATOR J. KALANI ENGLISH CONVINCED A SENATE COMMITTEE THAT IMPOSING A STATEWIDE BAN WOULD INFRINGE ON HOME RULE. OTHER OPPONENTS OF A FIREWORKS BAN SAY SUCH A LAW WOULD ONLY INCREASE THE ALREADY LUCRATIVE BLACK MARKET FIREWORKS SALES IN HAWAI'I.

ISLAND WEATHER, DANGEROUS SURF IS POUNDING NORTH SHORES OF MAUI. A HIGH SURF WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. OTHERWISE, CLEAR AND COOL TONIGHT WITH LOWS AROUND 60. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S.
