Should Hawaii visitors and residents both pay an environmental fee? More questions are back on the table.
The type of visitor fee being discussed is repugnant and clearly unconstitutional. Nonetheless, I guarantee you if Hawaii moves ahead with this I will seek a ballot initiative in my state to charge every visitor from Hawaii an amount that would be sufficient to reimburse every traveler from my state. If you think it’s fair to charge us to visit you then it should be fair for us to charge you to get our money back.
A perfect idea to combat the “grab as much as you can” political ideas in Hawaii. No fees or taxation will ever be enough to satisfy the waste, fraud and govt inefficiencies in the Islands.
Well, that depends on where you live. Is your state a tourist destination?
Aloha, this is our island, other countries and charging different ways and hows for purpose that it needs in their county. Japan charges ¥3000 yen for “airport tax” They paused it at time but brought it back now that Handea is in full swing. Check other countries I’m sure there might be something like this along the line.
Thank you and aloha to our islands!
Ahhh but you forget…Hawaii is Not a country. The islands receive protection and benefits of being a state of the USA.
