Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 5, 2010

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

IT'S BEEN FOUR AND A HALF YEARS SINCE NASHIR GOWADIA OF HAIKU WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH 21 FEDERAL FELONY COUNTS OF SPYING AND SELLING B-2 STEALTH BOMBER SECRETS TO CHINA. AFTER SEVERAL COMPETENCY HEARINGS AND - THE ENTIRE TIME IN FEDERAL CUSTODY, GOWADIA'S DAY IN COURT MAY COME SOON. JURY SELECTION IS SET TO BEGIN IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT IN HONOLULU TOMORROW. THE JURY TRIAL IS EXPECTED TO LAST AT LEAST TWO MONTHS.

HERE WE ARE FIVE DAYS INTO THE MONTH OF APRIL - AND ALREADY HAWAII HAS ONE OF THE WORST CENSUS RETURN RATES IN THE NATION. AS OF APRIL FIRST, ONLY HALF OF ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS IN HAWAII HAD COMPLIED WITH THE CENSUS ORDER - THAT PUTS US 44TH IN THE U.S. CENSUS OFFICIALS SAY EVERY RESIDENT NO COUNTED MEANS 12 HUNDRED DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING THAT WILL NOT COME TO HAWAII.

ISLAND WEATHER, PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S. TOMORROW - MOSTLY SUNNY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
