Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 21, 2010

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

UNEMPLOYMENT TOOK A BIT OF A DIP LAST MONTH IN HAWAI'I. IN FACT, EVERY MAJOR ISLAND REGISTERED A DROP IN THE NUMBER OF FOLKS OUT OF WORK. THE OVERALL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN MAUI COUNTY IN APRIL WAS 8.3 PERCENT, DOWN FROM 8.9 PERCENT IN MARCH AND EQUALS THE NUMBER FROM THIS TIME LAST YEAR. STATEWIDE THE 6.3 PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT IS DOWN FROM 6.8 IN MARCH AND 6.5 PERCENT IN APRIL OF 2009.

AND THE FEDS MAY COME TO THE RESCUE OF FURLOUGH FRIDAYS. SENATOR DANIEL INOUYE'S OFFICE SAYS HE'S WORKING ON A PLAN THAT COULD QUALIFY THE STATE OF UP TO 91 MILLION DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDS TO HELP PAY FOR A FULL YEAR OF SCHOOL DAYS NEXT YEAR.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU KEEPING TRACK OF SUCH THINGS, TODAY IS THE 10,000TH DAY THAT THE KILAUEA VOLCANO HAS BEEN ERUPTING ON THE BIG ISLAND. IT'S BEEN SPEWING STEADILY SINCE JANUARY 3RD, 1983 - MORE THAN 27 YEARS.

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

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