Go See "An American Carol"

Finally someone makes a movie that pokes fun at the liberal left in the eye and everywhere else. Fast paced, funny and a bit rough in some places, An American Carol is a must-see for all political conservatives and anyone who can take a joke at the liberals’ expense. Kevin Farley is a near dead ringer for lampooned filmmaker Michael Moore. The plot is based very loosely on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and revolves around Farley’s Michael Malone, a documentary film producer who makes anti-American movies. An American Carol is a good laugh to see at least once on the big screen and a contender for your movie library later.

Filed an Appeal (via macprohawaii) Attorney for Stop Rail Now, Earle Partington refiled an appeal to the Hawaii State Supreme Court in order to get the rail question on the ballot. “This is all tied up on the transit authority, a steel on steel rail," said Stop Rail Now’s attorney Earle Partington. "We are just asking for a straight up or down vote on rail. What the city council passed is nothing close to that.” kgmb9.com/main/content/view/9762/40/

How Honolulu Property Tax Bills Will Rise With Fixed Rail

From HawaiiReporter.com by Lowell Kalapa, Tax Foundation of Hawaii

“With all other costs rising, real property taxpayers must acknowledge that the fixed rail system will require an increase in their property tax bill. And if the fare is held to $2 per ride, the operating subsidy will continue to grow over time. Elected officials at the city level have been less than enthusiastic in supporting a fare increase and so it would appear that they will continue to turn to the largest source of unrestricted revenue, the real property tax, to subsidize the transit system.

As the city transportation official admitted in the hearing, the city is not assuming any state subsidy for the operating cost of the fixed rail system. The assumption is that the 0.5% surcharge on the general excise tax will only apply to construction costs and that the operating costs will have to utilize other city resources such as the real property tax.

As voters go into the voting booth to vote on the issue of a fixed rail system, they should know that in all probability, real property taxes will have to be increased to subsidize the proposed fixed rail system.”
