~ P.O. BoxTAX FOUNDATION OF HAWAII ' ‘

A private, non-profit, non-partisan, educational organization serving our island state since 1953, the Tax Foundation of Hawaii is governed by a 25-mem ber Board of Trustees who represent the entire state and is financed by concerned and interested corporate and individual members. Its purpose is to foster effi­ciency and economy in government, to promote an equi­table tax system that will encourage the economic growth and stability of Hawaii, and to assist in the improvement of public administration.

Collecting and analyzing data concerning govern­mental finances and taxation, the Foundation serves as a clearing house and disseminates this information to the public through reports, pamphlets, newspaper arti­cles, and radio and television broadcasts. To further achieve its purposes, the Foundation also channels its efforts through working with governmental officials, private organizations and individuals to improve the methods, systems and procedures of public administra­tion.

Other regular publications of the Tax Foundation, in addition to GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII, include: THE TAXBURDEN OF THE ARNIE ALOHA FAMILY; FINANCE IN BRIEF, a wallet-sized resume of Hawaii's fiscal facts; weekly commentaries in the Sunday Star-Bulletin S Advertiser; a weekly radio series on KHVH and KCCN in Honolulu, KIPA in Hilo, and KUAI in Kauai County. The LEGISLA­TIVE TAX BILL SERVICE provides an analysis of all tax legislation introduced during the legislative session, and the LEGISLATIVE REVIEW which is published at the conclusion of each session reports on all legislation which passed and examines the changes in the State's fiscal outlook.

GOOD GOVERNMENT DEPENDS ON AN INFORMED PUBLIC

FOREWORD

The key to proper functioning of our republican form of government is an informed citizenry which has an understanding of government and a willingness to participate.

The influence of government grows daily reaching all sectors of the community. It is imperative that the taxpayer - corporate and individual - be aware of government's policies and programs and get involved in the decision making process at all levels of govern­ment. The opportunity to become involved in shaping the future of our state presents us with a challenge to be informed about the fiscal workings of state and local government.

This 24th edition of GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII pro­vides the basic tools for an understanding of our state's fiscal health. The financial statistics pre­sented in the tables and charts provide key historical and current data. These data include the highlights of economic indicators, governmental revenues and ex­penditures, and public debt; and provide the basis for the further study of government in Hawaii.

To assume our proper role in government, it be­hooves us to be well informed about our state's histo­ry. GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII is a handbook of financialstatistics, published annually for 24 years, and can be used with confidence in reviewing the financial history of the state and its four counties.

The Tax Foundation wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to those persons whose cooperation and as­sistance helped to put this booklet together. The in­formation presented would not have been possible with­out the help of many public employes in the federal, state and county governments. A special mahalo goes to the directors and staffs of the State of Hawaii De­partments of Accounting and General Services, Budget and Finance, Education, Labor and Industrial Rela­tions, Planning and Economic Development, Taxation,Transportation, and Finance Directors of the fourcounties, the Internal Revenue Service, the Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank.

HAWAII’S ECONOMY

During 1976, Hawaii's economy was marked by a stabilization of growth, a contrast to the boom years of the late sixties and early seventies. Of particu­lar concern was the growing unemployment rate which rose to 9.8% in 1976. Those industries hardest hit were construction and sugar. Gains were made in di­versified agriculture and hotel services.

The slowing down of the growth pattern was also reflected in the average consumer price index which rose by 7.8 points in 1976 whereas it rose more than 13 points in 1975.

During 1976, the income of Hawaii's citizens ou t ­distanced that of many other states as the per capita personal income level reached $6,658 which was seventh highest in the nation. Wages and salaries accounted for 70% of the state's net personal income of $5,679 million in 1975, and it is estimated that total per­sonal income for 1976 will top $6.2 billion.

Despite fears that a sluggish national economy would seriously impair growth in the tourist industry, it experienced an unexpectedly good year as the number of visitors to Hawaii passed the 3 million mark. Even more crucial to the economic picture were the dollars spent by tourists in Hawaii which reached $1.5 billion in 1976, a 14% increase over the previous year. Offi­cials remain cautious on the future growth prospects of this industry although it did prove to be a key factor in counteracting much of the negative perform­ance in other sectors of the economy.

On the other hand, the sugar industry suffered setbacks during 1976 as is reflected in a drop of nearly 55% in its tax base. Rising competition from foreign producers of the sweetner and the lack of fed­eral legislation further compounded the problem of the Island's oldest industry. Pineapple canning also took a dip in the value of its tax base of 28% while the value of construction completed in 1976 fell more than 11%, Retail sales and wholesale sales continued to grow by 10% and 16% respectively.

While the future for Hawaii's economy remains u n ­certain, the boom years of Hawaii's economy have come to an end and a normalization in growth will necessi­tate an adjustment in economic priorities for the fu­ture. Inflation - largely a national problem needing federal solutions - may have the greatest impact on Hawaii's economy.

WHERE GOVERNMENT GETS ITS MONEY

Hawaii's highly centralized state government is best reflected in the taxing authority relationship between the state and counties. In 1976, more than 78% of the state and local taxes collected in Hawaii accrued to state government which levies the majority of Hawaii's taxes. Hawaii's four counties rely heavi­ly on the real property tax, the rates of which are set by the county councils without limitation, and three other taxes. These are the county fuel tax and motor vehicle weight tax, levied without limitation, and the public utility franchise tax administered and collected by the counties but imposed by the state.

Hawaii's three leading sources of tax revenues are the general excise tax (a multi-rate, multi-stage tax on gross income) which contributed 35% of all col­lections; personal and corporate income taxes adding 25%, and the real property tax representing 18% of the total collections during 1976. These three taxes helped to bolster the growth rate in taxes to 14.5% in 1976 as compared to growth rates experienced in 1975 of 13.8% and in 1974 of 13.6%, without a change in ei­ther the rates or the overall tax structure.

Hawaii's earmarked taxes (fuel, motor vehicle weight, utility franchise, and unemployment compensa­tion) contributed approximately 13% to the total tax take. Rate hikes in the fuel tax to 8.5c per gallon and increasing the unemployment compensation insurance rate to a flat 3% were largely responsible for a 46% increase in state fuel tax collections and a 63% in­crease in the unemployment taxes in 1976 over 1975.

The real property tax remains the keystone of the counties' revenue sources representing 47% of Hono­lulu's $249 million, 35% of Maui's $34 million, 53% of Hawaii's $35 million, and 41% of Kauai's $15 million in revenues. While state grants proved to be the sec­ond largest source of income for Kauai County (24%), federal grants contributed the second largest source for Honolulu (33%), Maui (33%), and Hawaii (18%).

Federal tax collections in Hawaii during 1976 dropped from the previous year's total of $1,087 mil­lion to $946 million, due primarily to the severe 47% drop in receipts from corporate income taxes. While Hawaii contributed $946 million to the national treas­ury, federal dollars returned to Hawaii in the form of grants to the state and local governments totaled $430 million in 1976 or an increase of 38% over 1975.

HOW GOVERNMENT SPENDS ITS MONEY

During 1975, per capita state and local govern­ment expenditures in Hawaii totaled $1,560 which kept Hawaii in the fourth highest spot behind Alaska, the District of Columbia, and New York. With the excep­tion of expenditures for public education and high­ways, Hawaii ranked among the top seven states in ev­ery other category of per capita expenditures.

While there were 489 public employes per 10,000 population in Hawaii during 1975 putting the 50th State slightly above the average for the nation, the monthly earnings of these employes ranked seventh highest in the nation at $1,083. Leading the ticket in the area of average monthly' earnings were those public employes in the categories of higher education ($1,3H2), public education ($1,133) and control and administration ($1,106).

During 1976, it cost nearly $1,6 billion to oper­ate state and local governments in Hawaii, reflecting a 23% increase over the previous year's expenditures. Nearly 80% or $1.3 billion of this total was spent by state government for an increase of $212 million in 1976. Education and welfare continue to take the li­on's share of state government expenditures with $377 million and $168 million respectively. Reflecting the rise in unemployment in the state, unemployment com­pensation costs nearly doubled followed by a 45% in­crease in general government expenditures for adminis­tration and staffing. Debt service costs to the state grew by nearly 28% in 1976 and is expected to rise even more as obligations on state debt incurred in prior years become due.

The cost of running the county governments grew by 26% in 1976 to reach the $328 million mark. Of that total, the City and County of Honolulu was re­sponsible for 76% or $251 million. Expenses for po­lice and fire protection continue to dominate the ex­penditures of all counties ranging from 18% to 23% of their respective budgets. Capital improvements proved to be the second largest item for Honolulu (15%) and Maui (18%), while expenditures for general government services and staffing were the second biggest costs for Hawaii (15%) and Kauai (23%).

While state and local government expenditures grew by 23% in 1976, state and local tax collections grew by only 14%. The difference being attributable, in part, by grants from the federal government.

THE LONG TERM PUBLIC BONDED DEBT

Long term financing through the sale of bonds is government's means of paying for large capital public projects that would cause an undue burden on taxpayers if financed out of current revenues. The cost is spread over the economic life of the project and in­volves more taxpayers and beneficiaries in paying for it. If debt is incurred regularly, taxes must be in­creased to pay principal and interest costs.

At the end of fiscal year 1976, Hawaii’s per cap­ita long term public debt was $1,602 which placed the 50th State sixth highest in the nation.

Constitutional provisions limit state debt to 3,6 times the defined average general fund revenues of the three fiscal years preceding the session of the Legis­lature authorizing such debt. The state's debt limit on November 1, 1976 was $2.1 billion effective for the 1977 session of the Legislature.

nearly 83% of the long term debt incurred by the state and local governments are general obligation bonds guaranteed by the general revenues of the state and/or counties while 17% are revenue bonds which are repaid from special earmarked revenues such as air­port, harbor, and water fees as well as fuel taxes for highways. At the end of 1976, the total bonded debt of the state and counties stood at $1.7 billion.

Certain authorized but unissued debt as well as issued bonds are charged against the state’s debt lim­it. As a result, state debt charged against its limit totaled $1.8 billion in 1976 leaving a margin of $349 million. Authorized but unissued debt was 56% of the debt charged against the limit while outstanding bonds accounted for the remaining 44%.

County debt is limited to 16% of the net real property values within the county. As of December 31, 1976, county general obligation bonds outstanding to­taled $260 million of which an estimated $181 million was charged against the debt limits of the counties.

In general, the state has relied almost exclu­sively on borrowing from the bond market to finance its capital projects, while the counties have largely relied on cash. However, during 1976, actual as well as contemplated sales of bonds by the counties seem to indicate that local governments in Hawaii will turn to the bond market more frequently in the future.
