"Mufi Hannemann, president and CEO of the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association, said lawmakers need to be cautious about repeatedly asking for more from the visitor industry."

This might be the funniest thing I have ever read in the SA!!

Hey Mufi, weren't you the guy who made a boatload of promises and lies to set this giant ball of garbage rolling?  Weren't you the guy who already used up his crediblity and destroyed his political career on things like the "temporary" rail tax?

So it's okay to drive struggling families to the mainland by increasing the taxes on food, clothing, medicine, and rent, but you draw the line at luxury hotel rooms and room service?
