The state's appraiser needs to talk to the tax man. If empty DHHL land is worth billions, just imagine what Parker Ranch or Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estates lands are worth. If taxed properly they could provide more services for everyone!
"It's a huge conflict of interest for the States counsel to be the counsel for DHHL. DHHL's only purpose is to get beneficiaries on the land and protect the trust for the beneficiaries. The States goals seldom a line with DHHL's." -- Kaimana
If only DHHL actually turned lands over to beneficiaries to live on, we wouldn't be stuck with a corrupt DHHL, people on the wait list for decades, lands remaining dormant to be stolen, etc. Instead of DHHL leasing lands for commercial development and squandering the income, it could be native Hawaiians leasing the lands and putting money back into their communities. Vote to disband the DHHL, take their remaining trusts and assets and put in roads, and divide the lots up among native Hawaiians, fee-simple. Maybe put CC&Rs that the lots may only be sold to citizens born in Hawaii, or second generation born here, etc.
