Hooser: KSSK doesn't get 'seriousness of the matter'
Advertiser Staff
State Sen. Gary Hooser today issued the following statement on the apology of radio personality Larry Price, regarding Price's on-air remarks last Friday:"While I have not heard from Mr. Price directly, I understand that he issued an apology for last week's remarks on his radio show this morning. As much as I personally appreciate his effort to address his inappropriate and offensive statements, it is clear from statements that continue to be made on the show that the management and owners of KSSK still do not understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Radio station KSSK and Clear Channel Communications have an obligation to their listeners and all of the people of Hawai'i to acknowledge that the views expressed last Friday are inappropriate and unacceptable in our community. I remain hopeful that they will eventually address this matter in a way that is meaningful and supportive of our shared values."
