| Description/Comments |
Lowell Kalapa is the President of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii, a private non-profit educational organization dedicated to informing the public (more specifically, the taxpayer) about the finances of our state and local government. The Foundation looks at how government raises the money it spends --- be it taxes, user fees, or borrowing money through the use of debt.
The Foundation attempts to unravel the mystery of the state budget with an annual review of legislative actions appropriating various funds for state programs and projects. While the bulk of its attention is garnered by state actions (as it is at that level that the overwhelming array of services are provided by government in Hawaii), the Foundation also keeps a watchful eye on county governments as they annually set real property tax rates in order to fund their respective budgets. The Foundation is supported entirely by private contributions and is not affiliated with any state or government agency. |
