Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 1, 2009

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

DURING WHAT HAS BECOME THE DAILY PRESS BRIEFING SINCE THE PANDEMIC OF SWINE FLU WAS MOVED TO PHASE FIVE AROUND THE WORLD, TODAY THE STATE'S CHIEF DOCTORS CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE STILL NO CONFIRMED CASES OF SWINE FLU IN HAWAI'I. IN TODAY'S BRIEFING, DOCTOR CHIYOME FUKINO STRESSED THAT THERE WOULD BE SUFFICIENT SUPPLIES OF ANTI-VIRAL MEDICATION IF THE SWINE FLU REACHES OUR SHORES - BUT THE STATE DOES NOT STOCKPILE ANY KIND OF MEDICATIONS. SHE ADDED THAT THE MAINLAND SUPPLY HAS BEEN RATED BY THE C-D-C AS SUFFICIENT.

AND IN HONOLULU - WITH FIVE DAYS TO GO IN THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION, LAWMAKERS ARE CLOSE TO AGREEING ON A PROPOSED STATE BUDGET THAT CUTS ABOUT 800 MILLION DOLLARS IN SPENDING OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, AND ELIMINATES 320 GOVERNMENT JOBS - MOST OF WHICH HAVE BEEN VACANT FOR SOMETIME ANYWAY.

ISLAND WEATHER, MOSTLY SUNNY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT IN THE LOWER 60S AND HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE MID 80S.
