Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 15, 2008

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

A LITTLE BUSY THIS AFTERNOON - AND MAYBE NOT JOB-RELATED? IF SO, YOU'RE AMONG ONE IN FIVE IN HAWAII WHO WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FILE TAXES. THE IRS SAYS THAT ABOUT 133 THOUSAND OF US PROCRASTINATED. AS USUAL, POST OFFICES IN KAHULUI, KIHEI, MAKAWAO, PUKALANI, WAILUKU AND THE MAIN LAHAINA BRANCH WILL ACCEPT YOUR STAMPED RETURN ALL THE WAY UP TIL MIDNIGHT. BUT BE SURE TO PUT IN THE SLOT MARKED WITH A BRIGHT ORANGE LABEL THAT SAYS "TAX MAIL DROP - FINAL PICKUP-MIDNIGHT." OTHER WISE, IT WILL SIT THERE UNTIL REGULAR MAIL GOS OUT TOMORROW - APRIL 16TH. REMEMBER POSTAGE, THOUGH. POST OFFICE BUSINESS COUNTERS WILL CLOSE AT THEIR REGULAR TIMES TODAY.

AND STATE TAXPAYERS WILL BE GETTING A TAX REBATE OF ONE-DOLLAR THIS YEAR. THE STATE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT RESIDENTS BE GIVEN A REFUND WHENEVER THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE RISES ABOVE FIVE-PERCENT OF REVENUES FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
