I don't think this has anything to do with your taxes
https://dhhl.hawaii.gov/legislative-brie...on/budget/
Gov. Ige requested a little over $25 million a year in general funds and $25 million a year in general obligation bonds to fund DHHL’s efforts over the next two fiscal years.
"General funds" come from the taxpayers, of which I am one. $25M is almost $20 per citizen. GIve me a say in how DHHL is run, or give me back my money.
betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians, as defined in the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, for the development of farm and home ownership
It should be abundantly clear that this is not happening, and a 99-year lease is not "ownership", even if you live long enough to survive the waiting list.
Separately: for less time/money than a DHHL lease, anyone (Hawaiian or otherwise) could homestead a lot in one of the vast "private" subdivisions. Is this not happening, or are we just not hearing about it? The point I'm (indirectly) raising here is: seems like "some" people would rather wait indefinitely for their "entitlement" when they could easily skip the DHHL waitlist-for-a-lease scam in favor of actual home ownership. Don't say "because they can't afford it", because the DHHL requirements are even less affordable.
In1959 ... the new State of Hawaii leased a total of 30,176.185 acres back to the U.S. for sixty-five years
1959 + 65 = 2024. What happens then?
