The TAT is Hawai'i County's second <br />largest source of revenue. The complete elimination of TAT revenues will have dire <br />consequences on our operating budget and will result in the need to curtail and possibly <br />eliminate services that will negatively impact the public health, safety and welfare of our <br />community. <br /> <br />Due to the urgency, I would like to request that this resolution be waived from committee and <br />heard at the full Council scheduled for January 22, 2010. <br /> <br />lY!dwe <br />Attachment <br /> <br />< ~ eS. ;;l'i 3- \ D ) <br /> <br />Comm.
