Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 29, 2010

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

IT'S THE LAST DAY OF THE 20-10 LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND ALL IS NOT QUIET IN THE STATE CAPITOL. FIRST LEGISLATORS GANGED UP AND OVERRODE GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE'S VETO OF THE PER-BARREL TAX HIKE ON CRUDE OIL COMING INTO THE ALOHA STATE. THE NEW TAX JUMPS FROM FIVE CENTS TO A DOLLAR-FIVE - WOULD BRING AN ESTIMATED 22 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR INTO STATE ACCOUNTS, AND COST YOU AND ME ABOUT FIVE TO SEVEN CENTS A GALLON MORE AT THE PUMP.

ALSO TODAY, THE LEGISLATURE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A BILL THAT WILL ADD INTEREST PAYMENTS TO ANY STATE TAX REFUND THAT IS DELAYED MORE THAN 90 DAYS. IT WON'T MAKE YOU RICH - AS THE AMOUNT IS SET AT ONE THIRD OF ONE PERCENT. DELAYING THE STATE TAX REFUND PAYMENTS UNTIL AFTER JULY FIRST WILL SAVE THE STATE ABOUT 275 MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR.

ISLAND WEATHER, LOOK FOR LOWS TONIGHT AROUND 65 WITH WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS. TOMORROW, BREEZY, SUNNY AND WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S.

AND LOOK FOR AN ALL-NEW EDITION OF MAUI TV NEWS LATER TONIGHT AT MAUITVNEWS-DOT-COM
