Public input is happening. The tourism industry is vibrant and will continue to be so. Tourism grows despite Trump's repeated attempts to impose his Travel Ban and the boycotts of a very few who we would not want here anyway. Millions come to Hawaii for the beaches and scenery with more and more tourists from Japan, China, and elsewhere.  Why? Because Hawaii is not like other places, not super-urban NYC, not Euro expensive Europe. So YES to increasing the TAT, no more GET extensions, and NO to RE tax increases. Voters, remember those City Council blank-check writers and their pals in the Senate who are flaunting coverage of their toy rail on our backs with the GET extension and RE taxes. They work only for their own and rail contractors' interests and against the majority rest of us. This is the rail to their bank accounts.
