Would you like to better understand how the State of Hawaiʻi’s budget is put together, structured, financed and where funds go?
On Sunday, state lawmakers will host a virtual forum in partnership with Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice to discuss crafting of a “People’s Budget” for the 2025 legislative session.
This is the first forum in a series of online and in-person events that will lay the groundwork for a broader understanding of Hawaiʻi’s State Budget.
There will be an overview of the Hawaiʻi Budget Primer 2024–25 by Beth Giesting, director emeritus of the Hawaiʻi Budget & Policy Center.
Following this overview, panelists will engage in a conversation with former Gov. David Ige.
