Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - February 4, 2010

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

A LUMINARY IN HAWAI'I POLITICS HAS DIED. FORMER HONOLULU MAYOR FRANK FASI PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT AT HIS HOME IN MAKIKI ON O'AHU. HE WAS 89. FASI LED THE STATE THROUGHOUT THE 1970S - BUT HIS LEADERSHIP STYLE HAS INFLUENCED POLITICAL LEADERS FROM COUNTY COUNCILMEMBER SALL THE WAY UP TO THE U.S. SENATE. GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE SAYS STATE FLAGS WILL FLY AT HALF-STAFF ON THE DAY FASI IS BURIED. THOSE ARRANGEMENTS ARE PENDING.

MAUI HAS THE DUBIOUS DISTINCTION OF BUCKING THE TREND - AGAIN. WHILE GAS PRICES ACROSS THE STATE DROPPED OVER THE LAST WEEK, MAUI'S AVERAGE OF THREE DOLLARS AND 79 CENTS A GALLON IS UP THREE CENTS DURING THE SAME PERIOD.

AND ALEXANDER AND BALDWIN REPORTS A 67 PERCENT DROP IN PROFITS FOR 2009. THE COMPANY SAYS THEY WILL STICK WITH SUGAR PRODUCTION ON MAUI - AT LEAST THROUGH THE END OF THIS YEAR.

ISLAND WEATHER, CLEAR, COOL AND BREEZY TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 70S..

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