We need the legislators and the mayor to come up with a solution that will not further jeopardize our #1 industry with the proposed increase in Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT) better know as hotel room tax.  Visitors already pay very high taxes (TAT, GET, resort fee, airport tax, fuel surcharge, baggage fee, etc.) and rail will not even benefit the visitors.  It's not going into Waikiki.  If you increase the TAT by 1% for 13 years and GET that's already increased by 1/2% until 2027 but intends of increasing 3 more years until 2030, the visitors will be hit with both TAT and GET on room rates as well as GET increases on all the spending they do.  Also we should not be increasing taxes on our citizens because we already pay the highest taxes in the nation.  While other States are paying Sales Tax, our General Excise Tax is much greater.  Don't keep increasing the taxes on the local people as a solution to all the problems!  (I have a solution but it won't allow me to continue here).
