Tourists Continue to fund Hawaiian government

Hawaii State legislators have continued to find ways to tax tourists to solve state financial problems. Besides all the taxes and fees tourists have to pay to visit Hawaii, they now have to pay $4.50 per day EXTRA fees to rent a car.

When will Hawaii State Legislators realize they have too many employees on the government subidy, and they need to manage state expenses within a budget.

...but till they do, they continue to tax tourists, out of state property owners, etc. After all those people don't vote in the state of Hawaii, they just pay more taxes in Hawaii than anyone else.

Wonder why tourism to Hawaii is down? Clearly, airlines, cruise ships are reducing their numbers of visitors to Hawaii each year and visitors are spending less.
