Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 19, 2010

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

NOT GUILTY. THAT WAS THE PLEA ENTERED IN COURT YESTERDAY BY MAUI POLICE OFFICER RYAN MASADA. THE 17 YEAR MPD VETERAN WAS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY POSSESSING A SMOKING PIPE CONTAINING CRYSTAL METH AS PART OF A POLICE SEARCH EARLIER THIS YEAR. AFTER BEING RELEASED ON 10,000 BAIL, MASADA HAS BEEN ON ADMINISTRATIVE DUTY AT MPD HEADQUARTERS IN WAILUKU. HIS TRIAL DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR JULY SECOND.

AND THINGS ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK BETTER AND BETTER FOR THE VISITOR INDUSTRY. THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM IS PREDICTING A 2-POINT-6 PERCENT GROWTH RATE IN VISITOR ARRIVALS. THAT'S A FULL HALF OF A PERCENT BETTER THAN FORECASTS MADE EARLIER THIS YEAR. AND IN VISITOR SPENDING, THE PREDICTED GROWTH IS ALSO 2-POINT SIX PERCENT COMPARED TO A TWO PERCENT GROWTH RATE ORIGINALLY FORECAST.

ISLAND WEATHER - PRETTY CLOSE TO PERFECT, TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY. LOOK FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S.
