by Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, March 27, 2021

Keli’i Akina of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii was among three guests invited by Hawaii Public Radio to talk about tax bills at the Legislature this year, including the notorious SB56, many parts of which have now been attached to HB58, creating a “Frankenbill,” as in Frankenstein.

The other guests were Tom Yamachika, president of the Hawaii Tax Foundation, and Nicole Woo, research and economic policy director for the Children’s Action Network. Catherine Cruz of KHPR moderated.
