Subject: Fuel tax increase May 31 meeting comments
Hi County guys,
I have comments
on your proposal to raise
our fuel tax. ,r
We are the poorest county -

Raising fuel taxes CIP
well over 100%is criminal.
As you know we have the most
expensive fuel prices in America.
see here;

You know what the price is in Honokaa
($3.09 as of 5/25/17))
Do really want to increase fuel prices 6%overnight?
Most people here haven't had a raise
in years. I'm on a fixed income I don't
get raises. I'll probably start on Social security next year,they get maybe a $4 per month COLA raise per year at best.
I strongly oppose raising fuel
taxes! I consider your government
to be a bigger threat than North Korean, Russian, and Chinese Atomic weapons. At least they will just kill me in an
instant, whereas your policies are slowly starving me and my fellow retired citizens.
Cut something, anything first,
before you start taking more of
our money!
Thank you for your time.
