Real Property Taxes Should Be Used for Core INTERMEDIATE Government Services SCHOOL The State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) released a report in March 2017, An Analysis of Real Property Tax in and Hawaii. The report focused on real property tax for government financing and residency of property own- WAIALUA HIGH ers. The residency was based on the mailing address for each Tax Map Key identified property. Since the SCHOOL mailing address was used and actual residency wasn’t confirmed, that statistic was used as a reference point for the analysis. Best wishes for your According to the report, Honolulu’s, Residential and Related property tax category had 89.6 percent of continuing journey! property taxes paid by residents with in-state mailing addresses. The share of property taxes paid by owners in the Residential and Related property tax category was 55.6 percent of the overall real property taxes collected in the City and County of Honolulu. 56-117 Pualalea Street Kahuku, HI 96731 808.293.9221 The DBEDT report referenced the Tax Founda- www.kmc-hi.org tion’s 2016 State Tax and Spending Policy, the Facts on Hawaii’s Tax Climate, which placed Hawaii’s total tax burden in 14th place among the 50 states. Further explaining that while Hawaii’s property tax rates are relatively low, other taxes including the General Excise Tax (GET) and the individual income tax, increase the overall tax burden for Hawaii’s households. An increase in residential real property taxes to fund rail transit would place the financial burden on an already struggling group of taxpayers. Property taxes are paid by all income groups whether owners or renters. Many of those are seniors, low to moderate income earners and those on fixed incomes which is why I don’t support increasing real property taxes. Real property taxes should be used for core City and County of Honolulu services such as the mainte- nance of roads, parks and sewers, and for fire, police and lifeguards among the other basic services needed on Oahu. As the Honolulu City Council continues to de- liberate to pass a balanced budget for the City and County of Honolulu, I will not be supporting real property tax increases.

The First Law of Holes states: If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging! Congratulations to the KHS There is no doubt that rail spending is out of control. The cost of the project expanded from $5.2 graduating class of 2017 billion in 2014 to nearly $10 billion less than two from years later. By comparison, the entire City operating budget is $2.3 billion a year. The Red Raider Health Center and Think about that for a moment.

After three extensions granted by the Federal Transit Authority, the HART Recovery Plan was finally published on May 1, 2017 with two options: Plan A would complete the full project for nearly $10 billion (If billions of additional tax revenues are approved), and Plan B would complete the project within the existing budget of $6.8 billion by defer- ring several stations and ending the line at Aloha Tower. Meanwhile, a group of architects has proposed a third option to complete the project within the $6.8 billion budget by modifying the route and building the remaining segment at street level. Another group has long advocated for MagLev and a modern, more affordable alternative. The proposals from SalvageTheRail.org and MagLev advocates has been panned by rail proponents, who claim there is no option but to continue building elevated rail and all the stations, no matter how much it costs. Returning to the sheer magnitude of the cost overruns, the City and the State cannot continue to increase spending on rail and still afford other priorities like cooling our schools, educating our children, upgrading sewer infrastructure, caring for homeless, maintaining parks and roads and all other governmental services. I disagree with the characterization that the state failed by not approving billions more in taxes to fund the rail project. I do not agree that the only option is more, possibly permanent taxes.

Asia Pacific International School Hawaii: A New Private School serving the North Shore. When you walk into a classroom at Asia Pacific International School, you’ll see smiling, motivated kids working collaboratively with caring teachers on projects targeted at discovering their own conclusions. You’ll see flexible spaces, moveable classroom furniture, and technologically equipped, climate-controlled facilities. When you walk around the campus grounds you see a deep connection to the environment, with vegetable gardens, fruit trees, an aquaponics system, goats, sheep and chickens, a greenhouse, a makerspace, a 25 meter outdoor swimming pool, and lots of room to run and play. Then when you stand at the middle of campus and take in the ocean views in front of you and mountain views behind, you can’t help but feel that this just might be the perfect place for learning. Asia Pacific International School (APIS) is a new, progressive school located in the hills just above Hauula. They are in their second year of operation, and are now preparing to expand their enrollment. The curriculum features an interdisciplinary, project-based approach, where humanities, science, and The Kokua Foundation’s annual dinner was a English language arts classes are taught together by a team of experienced and well supported teachers.

Scott Phillipson began his enterprise at his mother’s gas station with a cooler and a small surf shop. When he met Laura, “she was the magic,” reportedly how Scott describes it.

Haleiwa is the biggest of the Sand People locations and one of the few that carries clothing, which Natasha describes as “casual beach chic with a twist of modern.” There is a vast array of jewelry and ac- cessories made by artists from throughout Hawaii and specifically on our North Shore.
