Kaʻū Reps. Richard Onishi and Dr. Richard Creagan, and Kaʻū's Senators Josh Green and Russell Ruderman, supported the amendment.
 |
| A change in the Hawaiʻi State Constitution would allow the state to tax investment property to fund public education. The counties and Chambers of Commerce oppose it. |
The County of Hawaiʻi and the other three counties in the state oppose the measure, saying the language of the amendment is not clear, and that it could dissuade investors from building more housing, which is needed for the increasing demand.
The hearing before Hawaiʻi's Supreme Court will be less than a week before early walk-in voting, which begins on Tuesday, Oct. 23, Monday - Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. - closed from noon to 1 p.m. - at Pāhala Community Center.
The question before the voters, approved by the state legislature, is: "Shall the legislature be authorized to establish, as provided by law, a surcharge on investment real property to be used to support public education?"
The amendment would give authority to state government to tax investment property for education. It's the four county governments that currently tax all properties, setting rates and valuations.
The counties' efforts to stop the question from going on the ballot began in First Circuit Court on Oʻahu, with the claim that the language was "highly misleading and deceptive." Judge Jeff Crabtree in the First Circuit Court dismissed the motion. He wrote that he failed to find language proposed for the ballot to be "deceptive," but noted that it is "not as clear as it could be."

The county attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court through a "petition for extraordinary writ." They called the constitutional amendment too vague and expressed concern over state government becoming involved in taxing property.
Hawaiʻi Chamber of Commerce also came out against taxing investment properties to help pay for education.
Corey Rosenlee, President of the Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association, the public teachers union, called the Supreme Court action a waste of taxpayer money. "The counties lost before, then they are going to lose again," he said. He issued a statement saying, "It's sad that the only tactic that they have is fear, the fear that we're going to go after renters, apartment owners, senior citizens, farmers, commercial businesses. This is a specific taxation that we're trying to do in order to fund our schools. Our opponents offer no way of increasing funding for our schools. Not once have they offered an answer about how they are going to improve our schools."

Deborah Zysman, executive director of the Hawaiʻi Children's Action Network, said, "If you go and visit schools, we know our infrastructure is way out of date. Some places in our charter schools, we have kids learning under tarps. We think that is unacceptable and unconscionable. Our kids deserve good quality schools."
Deborah Bond-Upson, a founding board member of Parents for Public Schools Hawaiʻi, said, "Every child in Hawaiʻi deserves access to a quality education, We know we are going to need a grassroots movement to fight against this super PAC that has come up with this cynical approach, to drive fear into parents and business leaders, that is unwarranted. We believe if we want to be business friendly, we have to have appropriate taxes. Our state should not be a haven for certain investors and developers that then drives the cost of housing up for everyone else."

THE U.S. SENATE VOTED 50 TO 48 TO CONFIRM JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH TODAY. HE TOOK THE JUDICIAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL OATHS AND SITS ON THE BENCH OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. Both of Hawaiʻi's U.S. Senators voted, "No."
Sen. Mazie Hirono sent out this message: "A few moments ago, the full Senate approved Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court after a sham investigation and a delusional process they rigged in his favor since the very beginning. I'm angry about it. That anger will fuel our movement's determination to win the midterms and bring with it a tidal wave of change for women and our allies.
"The fight goes on over the next month and in the years to follow because the stakes are too high for us to give in. Our fundamental rights and the progress we have made in the last several decades is on the line, and the need to retake Congress has never been more urgent."

Hirono Tweeted: "Today, I'm left with anger and determination, just like millions of people across the country. I will take @rtraister's advice, and commend it to the women of America and the men who understand our stories – I will stay mad and let that anger propel us to change."
Sen. Brian Schatz Tweeted, "Sometimes politics requires next level strategy Sun Tsu thinking, and sometimes all of that becomes an excuse to avoid knocking on doors and making phone calls. Please knock on doors and make phone calls. I promise you it's the main thing right now.
"If you are angry and want to do something about it please go to votesaveamerica.com and please pass it on," wrote Schatz.

KAʻŪ NAILED KOHALA COWBOYS TO TROJAN HOME TURF today during the homecoming game, with a final score of 58 to 14.
During the first quarter, Trojan Isaiah Pilanca-Emsley completed a 45 yard run for a touchdown, with Weston Davis running into the end zone for an extra two points.
Later in the quarter, a bad snap during a Kohala punt left the ball on the one-yard line, with Kaʻū in control with a first and ten. David made the one yard run for the touchdown. No extra points brought the score to Kaʻū 14, Kohala 0.
Again the punt - this time blocked - left the ball in Kaʻū's hands on the Kohala 13 yardline. Pilanca-Emmsley made the 13 yard touchdown run and took the score to 20 with no success at extra points.
Kohala came close to the Kaʻū end zone, but worked through all of its downs, leaving the ball in Kaʻū's hands on the 3 yard line. Several plays later, Pilanca-Emmsley made a 47 yard touchdown run. Davis picked up two extra points.
With less than two minutes left in the first quarter, Pilanca-Emmelsy intercepted a Kohala ball and ran 47 years for the touch down. With Davis making the extra two points, that brought the score to 28-0.
Ten minutes into the second quarter, Trojan Shesley Martinez ran for a 41 yard touchdown and Jermiah Nurial-Dacallo made the two extra points.
Pilanca-Emmsely made a 47 yard touch down run, with no extra points. With less than three minutes left in the first half, Martinez ran for a 74 yard touchdown, bringing the halftime score to Kaʻū 50, Kohala 0.
In the third quarter, Kohala's Zhane Ellazar-Ching ran a 92 yard kick return for the Cowboy's first score of the game. In the fourth quarter, Kohala quarterback Ryan Juan-Kealoha scored a ten yard run for a touchdown and completed a pass to Demien Padillo for two extra points.
Final score: Kaʻū 58, Kohala 14.
