The state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism has published its 37th State of Hawai'i Data book, packed with an array of facts and figures ranging from the median age of Hawai'i's population to the number of cellular telephone subscribers in the state.
Available only on the Internet, the book is considered the most comprehensive source of statistics on the social, economic, government and business activity for Hawai'i. The new edition can be found on the DBEDT Web site at www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/latest.
LIST OF REGISTERED SOLICITORS POSTED
The state Attorney General's Office is posting information on its Web site that will help Hawai'i charities and their donors make better in decisions when fundraising or giving.
The office is publishing a list of registered and bonded professional solicitors who solicit Hawai'i donors on behalf of charitable organizations, or fundraising counsels who assist with fundraising campaigns. The list is available at www.hawaii.gov/ag/charity_resources.htm.
"We are pleased that for the first time, Hawai'i's charities have a very simple and efficient way to determine whether their fundraising consultants and solicitors are registered and bonded as required by Hawai'i law," said Attorney General Mark Bennett.
MEDIA COMPANY, 2 MEN INDICTED
CHICAGO — Former Chicago Sun-Times publisher David Radler, a lawyer for the newspaper's parent company and a media holding company controlled until recently by Conrad Black were indicted on federal fraud charges yesterday for allegedly diverting $32 million through a series of bogus deals.
The indictment alleged the three diverted the money through a series of secret deals by disguising it as fees connected to the sale of newspaper publishing groups.
Black was not accused of wrongdoing.
Prosecutors said Radler, 63, was cooperating and was expected to plead guilty.
