Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - July 8, 2010

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

IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE IT - BUT PRICES ARE SLOWLY CREEPING DOWN IN HAWAI'I. OVER THE LAST MONTH, THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR UNLEADED REGULAR GAS HAS DROPPED BY AS MUCH AS EIGHT CENTS - WITH THE MAUI AVERAGE TODAY AT 3-74 A GALLON. AND MATSON HAS ANNOUNCED A DROP IN THE FUEL SURCHARGE THEY PASS ALONG TO CUSTOMERS. THE FORMULAS ARE COMPLICATED BUT IT WORKS OUT TO A DROP IN SHIPPING COSTS OF BETWEEN 55 AND 85 DOLLARS PER CONTAINER LOAD.

GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE AND STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK BENNETT HAVE PRAISED SENATOR DANIEL AKAKA FOR THE MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE HAWAIIAN SOVEREIGNTY LEGISLATION THAT'S PENDING IN WASHINGTON - ALSO KNOWN AS THE AKAKA BILL. THE REVISIONS GRANT SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS IMMEDIATELY, BUT DO NOT EXEMPT THEM FROM A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LAWS ENFORCED BY THE STATE.

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