There is no urgent need to further 'control' short-term rentals on the Big Island
Unfortunately that's the only thing Hawaii (either County or State) knows how to do: institute a system where you register and pay a fee, such that the fees pay for the new staff positions required to process the registrations.
In this particular case, County should be focused on creating a property tax class for short-term rentals. Helping State collect more TAT doesn't do anything for our local budget.
