All of the comments so far are part of a discussion we should all be having, but just a reminder, the title of this thread is how the tax bill will affect Hawaii Public Schools.
Also, any comments about how the tax bill will specifically affect other Hawaii institutions, organizations, or businesses would be appropriate. Let's stay away from generic opinions on taxes unless they tie in with Hawaii. Thanks.
"Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm." -James Madison, The Federalist Papers, 1787
The education of Hawaii students have been attended to by the party in power for the last 50 years.
Democrats have won both legislative chambers every two years since 1962. In 2016, they just won literally every seat in the 25-member state Senate for the first time since Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959."
5 seats went to republicans in the State House in 2016..

Present Tax bill will have little effect in turning the situation of education around in our beautiful State of Hawaii...It's the republicans! HOG WASH!
