Maybe another suggestion for a logo: "Visit the Big Island and give us money while we insult you and treat you like not very bright children."

Anyone seen today's Trib? Front page pic of the 'Pono' T-shirts. Super ugly. Zero images. How about a Turtle? Or a Hibiscus flower?
Who is the target market for this pitiful looking rag? Soon to appear in the $1.00 bin at your favorite thrift store. Muddy colors, won't show dirt, so good for cleaning the truck or bagging trash.
Maybe put the logo on a carry bag so it can be used to pick up trash at the beach. BTW, not many tourists are dumping washers, dryers and house refuse within a half mile of the Pahoa recycling center, but let's blame the tourists for that, too.
Your tax dollars at work, brought to you by the creative folk at Hawaii County.

Also on the front page of today's Trib: more news on the County's attempt to strangle the vacation rental business on behalf of the hotel lobby.
I wonder how they're planning on replacing all those lost tax dollars. War on Tourists!

Extend/enhance the GET surcharge. Because, you know, "tourists pay most of that".
