Right after the big raises were announced ... have to pay for that somehow.
http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2018...d-balance/
employees' salaries and benefits now account for 62.5 percent of the $491 million county budget ... Payments on bond issues from prior years account for 12.5 percent.
Salaries + benefits + debt service = 75% of the budget.
Property taxes account for about 74.5 percent of this year's general fund revenues
Property taxes were just increased, right?
The GET can be used only for roads and mass transit
I thought we just raised the fuel tax to "pay for roads"?
