CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO AUTHORIZE THE LEGISLATURE TO
ESTABLISH A SURCHARGE TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Report Title:   Public Education; Residential Investment Property;
Visitor Accommodations; Surcharge; Constitutional Amendment (ConAm)

Description:    Proposes amendments to the Constitution of the State of
Hawaii to advance the State's goal of providing a quality education for
the children of Hawaii by authorizing the legislature to establish, as
provided by law, a surcharge on visitor accommodations and on
residential investment property. (SD1)

TESTIMONY SENT IN ------ April 4, 2018 ------

Having a dedicated tax to fund anything is a bad idea. Look at rail.

Changing the constitution to allow this is a bad idea. 

THIS BILL NEEDS TO BE OPPOSED as Hawaii residents and homeowners should
not be penalized with more taxes.

NO NEW TAXES. VOTE NO ON SB 2922 SD1.
