Why bother ...Hawaii is getting alot less than they thought they could. Hawaii will be getting 678 "million" worth of stimulus which is about 1/4 of what they could use and about 1% of all the money available to states. And it looks like most of it will go to Oahu. Of course I'm sure we'll get something here on the Big Island...but not enough to significantly impact the Big Island Economy.
The $800.00 tax break is nice.... though smaller than last years $1200.00. Which means for me that I can just barely buy my plane ticket this summer. Last years stimulus... I had enough for the ticket and the rental car.
