Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - February 23, 2010

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

THE WAR OF WORDS CONTINUES BETWEEN GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE AND THE HAWAII STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. YESTERDAY THE UNION FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE LABOR BOARD STATING THAT THE GOVERNOR HAD WILLFULLY AND UNLAWFULLY KILLED THE HSTA PLAN THAT WOULD HAVE ENDED FURLOUGH FRIDAYS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. THE GOVERNOR SHOT BACK THAT HER PLAN - OFFERING 50 MILLION DOLLARS TO PAY FOR EDUCATIONAL DAYS THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR - REJECTED BY THE UNION - , PROVES THAT - QUOTE "THE HSTA'S LEGACY WILL BE THAT MONEY COMES FIRST, CHILDREN COME SECOND."

THE ECONOMIC FREEZE THAT HAS GRIPPED HAWAI'I FOR TWO YEARS NOW IS BEGINNING TO THAW. THAT, ACCORDING TO A REPORT RELEASED TODAY BY THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM. THE REPORT PREDICTS A TWO-POINT-THREE PERCENT GROWTH IN THE ECONOMY THIS YEAR - AND A SUSTAINED PATTERN THROUGH 20-13.

ISLAND WEATHER, TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND COOL WITH LOWS ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
