From Big Island now:
"In 2018’s Tax Burden by State analysis, Hawai‘i’s tax burden was measured at 11.57 percent, just behind New York in the top spot. The findings also reveal that Hawai‘i residents bear the highest sales and excise tax burden in the country at 6.52 percent."

And our mayors take on this:

"I consider this a gift to the people of Hawaii Island,” Kim said during an interview. “It’s a tremendous gift to help us catch up.”"
