Hawaiʻi State Legislature: State Senator (2020)

3293
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.)?
