Rosalyn Baker <br /> March 10, 2017 <br /> Page 2 <br /> As for Part II of HB 1410, HD2, Section 6 would maintain the counties' TAT <br /> allocation at an unacceptably low level, and mandate that the counties pay for EMS out <br /> of the inadequate proceeds. The proposed TAT allotment to Hawaii County (about <br /> $19M) is so low that it would be less than what we would need to pay for EMS, let alone <br /> our other obligations. Truly something we cannot live with. <br /> We need legislation that would provide the counties with more of the TAT, and <br /> without any additional burdens on the counties' budgets. In that sense, Part II of HB <br /> 1410, HD2 would be a step backwards, and we ask that it not be passed. <br /> Resp ctfully submitted, <br /> ict.ev,„ <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
