If elected, what will be your highest legislative priority?<\/h5>\n
Many residents have several jobs to keep themselves afloat. Our seniors have to postpone retirement. Kupuna are worried about being priced out of house and home and not being able to pass the family inheritance on to the next generation. Our residents worry when the government is going to slam them with more taxes and fees!<\/h5>\n

We must protect our home front first! I want to champion and work with the other 8 council members to<\/p>\n

~ ~ provide a property tax cap for local homeowners who have lived in their homes for 15 years or more. ( California did Prop 13 in 1978!) <\/strong><\/p>\n

~~ provide incentives to property owners who rent long-term to long term residents. <\/strong><\/p>\n

~~ Focus on increasing truly affordable rentals\/homes inventory<\/strong> These foundation improvements will help mitigate some of the challenges we face in Oahu today. It will also protect our residents’ ability to remain in our island home and not be priced out.<\/p>\n
