Honolulu Charter Amendment Question 1: Food Security
Source: elections.hawaii.gov
What does this measure do?
Supports: Social Programs and Welfare
Honolulu would create a Food Security Fund for programs and grants that make locally grown food easier to get on Oʻahu, paid for by raising the share of property tax set aside for special funds from 2.5% to 3%. Your property tax rate would not change; a bit more of it would go to these funds.
