Instead of raising the tax 3, just raise it 01 a day for a month! That way the increase will only be a few bucks a day, nobody will notice, and the overall increase will be more than the original plan of 3! Nobody will cancel their vacation for a tiny 01 tax increase

So you raise the prices of hotels via a tax which will make lower income families' Hawaii dream unaffordable Seems like catering to the rich Here I thought Hawaii was a progressive Leftist state How about only taxing the foreigners who visit, from China, Japan, etc

Comment from : J McGovern

For all the taxes I’ve paid over the years, I have not received the equal amount of service from Ige and Co Isn’t the Government supposed to SERVE THE PEOPLE? Instead, it’s The People SERVING the Government brbrWhen Trump was in office, the MSM cried how our economy is going down, how terrible it is, etc but in reality our economy had the biggest growth spurt prior to Obama Gas prices was good, unemployment was down, GDP was UP And now when Biden is in office, the MSM spins the narrative to make it appear how great everything is: economy, low taxes, employment But in reality, it’s pure utter chaos brbrThis is exactly what THEY wanted

It's easy enough for the hotels to NOT charge locals the tax, but it's more money for them 3 is nothing They should raise it to 5 or even 10 They should also make sure the B&B's pay the tax I'm sure a majority, of the legal one's, don't pay any tax at all tourist are only here to spend money, why not take them for all the have

Why don't locals get a Kama'aina pass on the tax?
Comment from : Ron C

I'm born and raised here but when I retired I live in Thailand They do the same thing out there and the tourist keep on coming! The question is where does the extra money from the tax really go! They say it's for this but! Does the people really know where it's going!
