WLIW-21 will launch a half-hour business special next week that could turn into a weekly series, the station announced. “Long Island Business Report” — to be anchored by veteran TV reporter and Rockville Centre resident Jim Paymar — will air Tuesday at 10:30 p.m.

“We'll talk about the issues of transportation, the high cost of living, taxation being a burden, and talk about our strengths — the university system, the health care industry, the quality of our schools,” Paymar said in an interview. He added, “the purpose is to ask questions, discuss the issues and by putting out information in a cogent manner, create a new paradigm.”

Tuesday's WLIW-21 roundtable guests are Kevin Law, president of the Long Island Association; Lawrence Levy, executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University and a former Newsday journalist; and Nancy Rauch Douzinas, president of the Rauch Foundation.
