Honolulu residents may soon get a one-time tax rebate of $350 now that the City Council has unanimously approved the city’s $3.41 billion operating budget.
I am dismayed at the City Council’s willingness to accept the obscene increase in salary without public discussion and by avoiding addressing the items put forth by two Council members against the increase (“2 Honolulu Council members urge rejection of salary hikes,” Star-Advertiser, May 3).
