Subject: 2%
I think people who cannot manage their own finances well enough to own property want to tax those who
can and use the money to keep land "public" and available for squatters. This island has the lowest
population density in the State, comparable to Oklahoma or Colorado, but these people act like it's Miami
Beach, or Honolulu.
More than half the land of Hawaii is already parks, preserves or otherwise safe from
development.
We are not in such great financial shape that we can afford this luxury at a time when we can't
pay for fire trucks, road repairs and police cars. At least let it wait until were flush
The 2% set aside is a luxury.
