Joy, please share a celebration of today' successes:
Our "ConAm" passed the Senate today. Now headed to the House. This evening the Hawaii State BOE just voted to support HSTA's Constitutional Amendment (ConAm) heading to voters to support education better by increasing non-resident property taxes. Typically property taxes go to the counties which do NOT fund their schools; school funding from only the State general fund has been getting too far a short stick for much too long a time. EVERYONE BENEFITS from stronger graduates, a better workforce cycling into our community growth. Mahalo for sign-waving - we'll need our community to vote in support of the future our keiki deserve!
