Subject: Hawaii County Hearing on STRs
Hi, nlyname ioNick Wainwright. Mywife and | have been teaching atKonavvmeneElementary and Middle
Schoots since 2005. We are not mainland real estate speculators. The money that we generate from our
STIR has afforded our family the ability to own 2 cars, pay for dance lessons for our daughter, raise our
grocery budget and eat healthier, save for her college education, and finally, after 20 years teaching,
start tosave for retirement. Aside from paying exorbitant taxes, vva pay our cleaner and handyman 4
times what they would make @t8hotel.
The only people that will benefit from these proposed regulations are the off island
corporate ho1eUera.Atbest it's suspicious, utworst, corrupt and unconstitutional.
Where is the shortfatt of tax money going to come from? Where are the tawyers fees for the upcoming
litigation going to come from? Are the counsel. members that have fought for these regulations willing to
denounce any future employment opportunities or campaign contributions from the hoteliers that these
[egui8dUnSwilt benefit?
Don't scapegoat my family for the County and State's mismanagement of housing.
Aloha, and thank you for your consideration.
the Wainwrights,
