quote:
residents of Puna and Kau are taxed sufficiently to maintain roads and provide water... the county and state just don't deliver
...while asking for authority to raise the GET and keep more of the hotel tax... and forcing the "private" subdivisions to take out new bonds to raise money for road improvements...
Somehow, though, County does find money to pass meaningless legislation that will soon be pre-empted and/or litigated into irrelevance, and they always find time to deny business applications that "don't fit the plan". We should be thankful it works at all.
