Hey this reminds me of something I saw years ago which I thought was amazing in terms of equal treatment. I noticed this when I was in the hospitality business. The company I worked for at the time had Maui property and I remember the local politicians and their willingness to shift as much burden as they could to non voting, non local timeshare owners. Check this out and look at what rates are assessed to what groups. Timeshare owners (not timeshare companies) get fleeced. http://www.co.maui.hi.us/documents/3/38/...002138.pdf
With that said I wonder if this is the same wherever there is a tourist economy (Carribean and Mexico tourist towns come to mind). I don't want to imply this is unique to Hawaii.
