Rental condo owners already support economy

In response to our tax-happy mayor, who wants rental condo owners to “pay a little more” to help Maui’s economy, let me mention a few things.

We condo owners buy furniture for our rental units from dealers here on Maui. We pay local people to paint, decorate and maintain our units. We pay local landscapers to maintain our property. We buy our cars from local dealerships. We pay outrageous monthly fees to Maui Electric. The list goes on and on.

And now, our tax-happy mayor wants us to “pay a little more.” It would seem to me that if the county, under his leadership, would use its resources more wisely, he wouldn’t be digging deeper into the pockets of those who already support Maui’s economy.
