Something else that just occurred to me.
Assume that we pass this $22 an hour minimum wage. How do we plan to handle the massive influx of people moving to Hawaii from all over the country from places that have an $8-$9 minimum wage, thinking they will move here and get paid so much more ?  we saw this happen I think back in 2006-7 when Hawaii was boasting it had the lowest unemployment rates in the country, we found people showing up at the homeless shelters that came here from out of state looking for work, only to get the rude reception of "how much housing costs"
