Aloha Chair Inaba,
As a native Hawaiian beneficiary, Homesteader, Executive Director Laiopua
Community Development Corporation, a 501C 3 nonprofit and community advocate,
I support the exemptions on building on Homestead lands.
Any reduction on out real property taxes would help our Ohana's to use the
extra monies for health and food security.
We hope that Bill 44 passes final reading.
Mahalo for your advocacy for our Beneficiaries.
Bo Kahui
Executive Director, Laiopua CDC
