Questions
Q1 Should affordable housing incentives (fee waivers, regulatory exemptions, state funds and other subsidies) require housing developers to ensure that their projects are actually affordable to local middle- and lower-income families?
Q2 Should observatory development be stopped until mismanagement of Maunakea by UH and the State has been fully addressed?
Q3 OHA should receive 20% of Public Land Trust (PLT) revenues annually per legislation passed in 1980. That has never been honored. Instead, OHA receives about 3.8% of PLT revenue annually. Do you support fulfilling the state’s PLT revenue obligation to OHA?
Q4 Based on MIT’s Living Wage Calculator, a “living wage” for Hawaiʻi is $15.39/hour for a single adult (or an annual salary of about $32,000). Do you support raising Hawaiʻi’s minimum wage to ensure a living wage for our workers?
Q5 Would you support a “green fee” levied on every visitor to the state that would be used exclusively to support conservation programs (invasive species removal, reforestation, establishment of additional nature preserves/sanctuaries, etc.)?
