Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - January 23, 2008

From the Visionary Radio News Center, I'm Jeff King with Maui TV News.

"CLOSED FOR REPAIRS." THERE WON'T BE A SIGN - BUT MOLOKINI WILL BE OFF LIMITS FOR UP TO 10 HOURS NEXT WEDNESDAY. THAT'S BECAUSE THE NAVY WILL BE THERE TO BLOW UP A BOMB, A MISSILE AND A ROCKET THAT WERE DISCOVERED ON THE CLIFFS OF THE TINY ISLAND LAST YEAR. WATERS WITHIN A NAUTICAL MILE OF THE POPULAR SNORKELING AND DIVING SPOT WILL BE CLOSED FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO BLOW UP THE OLD ORDNANCE. THE COAST GUARD HAS ESTABLISHED A SECURITY ZONE AROUND MOLOKINI - BUT THEY ONLY PLAN TO ENFORCE IT ON THE DAY OF THE DEMOLITION.

THE HAWAII STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAYS THEY NEED A TUGBOAT TO KEEP THE SUPERFERRY BARGE IN PLACE IN KAHULUI HARBOR. DAILY SERVICE FOR 10 WEEKS WILL COST TAXPAYERS 350 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

STATE REPRESENTATIVES FROM MAUI ARE STILL TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE'S SURPRISE PROPOSAL TO SPEND AS MUCH AS A BILLION DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THE TURTLE BAY PROPERTY ON OA'HU'S NORTH SHORE. "THAT THREW ME FOR A LOOP," IS WHAT MAUI STATE SENTAOR SHAN TSUTSUI SAID. WHILE HE QUESTIONED WHERE THE GOVERNOR EXPECTED TO FIND THE FUNDS, HE DID EXPRESS OPTIMISM THAT A MOVE LIKE THIS COULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE STATE TO BUY AND PRESERVE LANDS ON THE NEIGHBOR ISLANDS AS WELL.

THE HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAYS THE STATE NEEDS TO SPEND 5,000 DOLLARS A DAY FOR A TUGBOAT TO KEEP THE SUPERFERRY BARGE IN PLACE IN KAHULUI HARBOR FOR AT LEAST 10 WEEKS. IF NOT, THE SUPERFERRY COULD SUE THE STATE FOR 18,000 DOLLARS A DAY.
