Governor Ige Proposes Tax Refund as State Recovers From Pandemic

(AP) — Hawaiʻi Gov. David Ige is proposing refunding $100 to every taxpayer and dependent as the economy and tax receipts recover from the coronavirus pandemic. The governor said in his annual State of the State address to the Legislature that he also wants to revive a pre-pandemic idea to provide preschool for every child in Hawaiʻi. Ige says he’s proud of how Hawaiʻi responded to the pandemic. He noted doctors and nurses worked “endless shifts” to provide care and teachers went “above and beyond” to ensure students could learn. He commended people for getting vaccinated.
