Dear,members of the Committee on Planning,
My wife and I rely on income from Airbnb to survive the high cost of living in Hawaii. We
would have to move from our home to a smaller one or condo without it. We are becoming
pretty much single -issue voters on this issue and would certainly not vote for anyone who
assisted in changing the current law to our detriment. We pay all our taxes on this money
(GET, Transient, Income Tax) and see it as a vital way for Hawaiian government to make
money as well. We would support a bill that collects the GET and TAT on our behalf from
guests, but nothing more than that.
Sincerely,
Robert and Berta Capelli
