However, one wonders <br /> if there are any reasons for the proposed increase except to shift the social burden of the <br /> dig Island to others. <br /> I respectfully request that the Hawaii County Council kill the bill to increase in minimum real <br /> estate taxes to $100 proposed by Councilman Curtis Tyler. <br /> Jon Midgley, <br /> Kalapana Gardens lot owner <br /> <br /> 7/6/01 <br /> <br />
