Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - June 23, 2010

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

GOOD NEWS FOR CONSUMERS TODAY AS MAUI ELECTRIC COMPANY HAS SCALED BACK THEIR MOST RECENT REQUEST FOR A RATE HIKE. THE ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS FOR 9.7 PERCENT. THE NEW FIGURE IS 3.3 PERCENT. UNDER A DEAL REACHED WITH THE STATE CONSUMER ADVOCATE, THE UTILITY SCALED BACK ITS REQUEST AFTER REVISING SALES AND EXPENSE ESTIMATES SINCE THE REQUEST WAS FILED. IN ANY CASE, GOOD NEWS FOR CONSUMERS.

AND A WEEK FROM SUNDAY IS THE FOURTH OF JULY. DON'T LOOK FOR ANY NEW LAWS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN - BUT A NEW STATE LAW SIGNED YESTERDAY BY THE GOVERNOR ALLOWS INDIVIDUAL COUNTIES TO SET FIREWORKS LAWS THAT ARE TOUGHER THAN EXISTING STATE LAWS. THE MAIN IDEA IS SAFETY AND CUTTING DOWN ON THE ILLEGAL IMPORT OF FIREWORKS TO THE ISLANDS.

ISLAND WEATHER THAT RED FLAG WARNING FOR HIGH FIRE DANGER REMAINS IN EFFECT THOUGH THIS EVENING. TONIGHT, BREEZY AND DRY AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY AGAIN WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S.

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