This week we wanted to bring special attention to a 32-page pamphlet recently published by the Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice, simply called “Hawaiʻi Budget Primer 2024-25.” The pamphlet’s cover page says that it is written for “Candidates, Elected Officials and Concerned Members of the Public.” Lots of us in the public should be concerned. It’s your money, after all. The work is easy to understand and is a worthwhile reference.
