Hawaii lawmakers to examine $5.7B special funds
Businessweek
HONOLULU (AP) — Nearly one-fourth of the Hawaii Legislature’s $23.8 billion budget proposal is made up of special funds that lawmakers are planning to scrutinize in the coming months.
Russell Roberts‘s insight:
It’s about time someone looked into this sneaky way of keeping tax dollars from doing what they’re supposed to do. A little public scrutiny and openess are needed here. I’ll cut the state Legislature "a little slack" if it tightens up the spending of tax dollars. Aloha, Russ.
