In a letter to the Star-Advertiser, Mayor Caldwell said “I pay property tax like other taxpayers, and I don’t want to see my property tax increase either.”  Talk about arrogance.  His wife makes more than $500,000 a year, Caldwell salary as mayor is $153 239, and gets pocket change of $200,000 per year as a Central Pacific Bank board member.   That is roughly $850,000 per year and he paid a measly $7,918 in property taxes in 2016.  He and his wife certainly can afford to pay a lot more in property taxes, but that is not the case with most home owners, especially retirees on fixed income pensions and social security.  The mayor has lost touch with reality.
