road fee's plus tax

[Rob Tucker]

The reason your road maintenance is not supported by fuel tax revenues is because the County of Hawaii violated it's own ordinances in approving the subdivisions back in the late 1950's. This violation of county ordinances was intentional. The county was effectively creating a "tax mine" where they could collect property taxes from off island land owners and not have to provide services. That worked for them quite a while but obviously a lot of people have now moved into these areas.

Anyway, that is the short version.
