County of Hawaii-State of Hawaii
Resolution No. Esc ~3
(AMENDED)
WHEREAS, a recent speech given by Senator Richard Henderson at
the University of Hawaii-Hilo, charged that, "The anti-business
climate we have here is not a perception, it is a fact."; and
WHEREAS, Senator Henderson cast the onus of an anti-business
climate on the centralized state government bureaucracy of civil
servants who have little or no knowledge of the importance of a
healthy business climate to our State; and
WHEREAS, the specifics are as follows:
1. Pyramiding of the 4 percent tax amounting to
a sales tax of 11 percent.
2. Punitive unemployment and worker's
compensation insurance cost levied to the
employers.
3. The matter of over regulation of business.
WHEREAS, Senator Henderson suggests that the "Public Affairs
Coalition" made up of representatives from business, labor, and the
public, whose principal task would be to meet and examine all of the
troubled areas, and thus reverse the anti-business climate which
ultimately results in increased business activity; and
WHEREAS, this would translate into more jobs, more affordable
housing, and a better way of life.
