TAX FOUNDATION OF HAWAII

Page 3: GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII...Incorporated in 1953, the Tax Foundation of Hawaii is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan educational citizens' organization. The Foundation is governed

Incorporated in 1953, the Tax Foundation of Hawaii is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan educational citizens' organization. The Foundation is governed by a 25-member Board of Trustees representing the entire State. The Foundation is financed by voluntary contribu­tions from underwriting members, business organizations, and from corporate and individual associate members.

The purpose of the Tax Foundation is to encourage efficiency and economy in government, and to improve the economic status and standard of living of the citizens of the State of Hawaii. This is accomplished in part by co­operating with public officials and other organized groups or individuals working toward the adoption of im­proved methods, systems and procedures of public adminis­tration.

Data relative to government and taxation are col­lected and analyzed, with the Tax Foundation serving as a clearing house. Information that is compiled is made a- vailable to the public through the publication of re­ports, p amphlets, newspaper articles and by radio and television broadcasts.

In addition to GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII, other releases by the Tax Foundation of Hawaii inc lude: FINANCE INBRIEF, a wallet size resume' of Hawaii’s fiscal facts; a weekly column in the editorial pages of the Sunday Hono­lulu Star-Bulletin & Advertiser; a radio series twice weekly on KTRG and weekly on KIKI and KLEI. During the State of Hawaii Legislative Sessions, the Foundation pre­pares a LEGISLATIVE TAX BILL SERVICE which digests and comments on tax legislation; TAX TOPICS offers capsule comments on highlighted legislative issues; and LEGISLA­TIVE TAX REVIEW, published at the conclusion of each ses­sion, presents detailed reports of all major action as well as an examination of the changes in the State's fi­nances.

FOREWORD

Everything is up in Hawaii -

Population 32%Personal Income 117Public Bonded Debt 149Tax Collections - State & Local 179Tax Collections - Federal 165Cost of Living 27

But not all things go up at the same rate.

The percentage increases cover a 10-year period. While personal income rose faster than the cost of living, debt and taxes rose much more rapidly than either population or income.

Operating expenditures of the State and counties now exceed $500 million a year. With a population of less than 800,000, the per capita costs of government are high when related to the rest of the nation, however, Hawaii's p o s i ­tion in tax burden on a per capita basis in relation to o t h ­er states improved from 3rd highest in 1967 to 6th in 1968.

Direct general state and local expenditures are the 4th highest in the nation on a per capita basis. This high ranking is partly due to relative high costs of General C o n ­trol - such as cost of legislature, administration of jus­tice, governor and county chief executive offices, and cen­tral staff agencies; also police and fire protection, higher education, and a "miscellaneous" category.

Average monthly earnings of State and local public e m ­ployees are 8th highest in the nation, while the number of public employees related to population places Hawaii 12th from the top.

These are a few highlights from this 16th edition of Government in Hawaii which continues its original design of presenting data in four categories; general economic sta­tistics; information on where the state and counties get their money; how they spend it; and the public debt of each unit.

We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and assist­ance provided by many persons in federal, state and local government in Hawaii. Our special thanks goes to the d i rec­tors and staffs of the State of Hawaii Departments of A c ­counting and General Services, Budget & Finance, Education, Labor, Planning & Economic Development, Taxation, and T r a n s ­portation; City & County of Honolulu Budget and Finance D e ­partments; Auditors and Treasurers of Maui, Hawaii and Kauai Counties; and the Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank.

50TH STATE STAT IST ICS

Selected trends over the past 10 years indicate the extent and direction of Hawaii's economic development. The latest population figures show that the mid-year de facto civilian population has grown to 725,000 - a 32% increase over the 550,000 of 1958. While the cost of living rose some 25% during the decade of 1957 to 1967, total personal income in Hawaii more than kept pace with a 117% in­crease during the comparable period reaching $2.4 billion. However, taxation as well as inflation has taken its share of the pie. State and county tax collections increased over those of 10 years ago by an astounding 179% - hitting a new high of $338 million. Comparable figures for federal tax collections in Hawaii show an increase of 165% with a 1968 total of $440 million.

Hawaii’s economic health remains dependent upon the four major bases of tourism, military expenditures, sugar and pineapple. How­ever, diversified manufacturing is steadily becoming a significant element in the total picture.

More than one million tourists visited Hawaii in 1968, and while here, spent an estimated $500 million - more than 25% more than in 1967. An expanding R & R program in conjunction with the federal government's efforts to encourage travelers to "see America first" promises to help make 1969 another record breaking year for the tourist industry.

Trade continues to flourish despite the imposition of the 10% surtax. A new high of $1.5 billion in retail sales was recorded - up 7% over the previous year. A 22% increase in wholesale sales a­mounted to a total of more than $1 billion.

Concerted efforts to develop diversified manufacturing into a primary economic base are apparently having favorable results which are reflected in an increase of $34 million, or 11% over the previ­ous period. This growth is largely due to growing demands for Ha­waiian clothing, textiles, flowers and foodstuffs both in Hawaii and on the mainland. At the same time the needs of the construction in­dustry continue to encourage the development of locally made con­crete and prefabricated construction materials.

Total employment gained 7% over 1967, while unemployment drop­ped to 2.8%. The number of persons employed rose in all sectors of the economy except agriculture, with hotel services leading with an increase of 32%.

Military spending in Hawaii continued at a high level. A total of 22,850 civilians were employed by the Army, Navy and Air Force (7.6% of the civilian labor force). Military expenditures rose 4% and totaled $610 million, while the military de facto population at July 1 equaled 53,000.

The sugar crop produced 1.2 million tons and was just 2,000 tons short of the 1966 peak year. Pine production was reduced due to the pineapple workers' strike in early 1968 and is estimated at a value of $125 million. Estimates for 1969 set a $133 million value for the total pine crop.

WHERE GOVERNMENT GETS ITS MONEY

HAWAII AND THE COUNTIES

The tax structure of Hawaii ie highly oentralized with the State levying, administering and collecting almost all taxes. The counties' responsibilities - although limited in the area of taxation - are nev­ertheless significant. The counties set rates for both the real prop­erty tax (without limits) and the local portion of the fuel tax, and the State administers, assesses and collects them. While the State sets the public utility franchise tax, the counties are responsible for its administration and collection. In addition to the various li­censes and permits required and administered on the county level, the counties have complete control over the motor vehicle weight tax.

Hawaii's tax burden on a per oapita basis is still rising, with estimated state and local collections in fiscal 1968 of $426 per per­son. This ranks Hawaii 6th in the nation and $74 above the national average (page 17). When taxes are related to personal income, theranking is also 6th with about $12.79 out of every $100 of income be­ing used to pay state and local taxes in the 50th State.

Total tax collectionsl in fiscal 1968 exceeded $766.7 million(pages 14 and 35). Collections of federal taxes in Hawaii were re­ported at $440.2 million (page 35), and state-county tax revenues^ ex­cluding unemployment compensation reached $326.5 million (page 14). Hawaii's state and local collections accounted for 43% of the total tax collections in the State (page 36).

Sales and income taxes made up the bulk of the tax receipts,They accounted for 60% of the total collections! in fiscal 1968. Realproperty taxes made up 19.5% with licenses, vehicle and other taxesresponsible for the remaining 20.5%.

Earmarking of taxes is rare in Hawaii. Excluding collections for unemployment compensation, less than 10% of the 1968 tax collections went for special projects (page 14). Liquid fuel taxes (for airports and state and county highways), the utility franchise and motor ve­hicle weight taxes (county highways) are the major examples.STATE OF HAWAII

Revenue receipts of $418.1 million were reported by the State government in fiscal 1963 (page 21). This is an 8.4% increase ($32.5 million) over 1967. Tax receipts were up 10% and represent 60.6% ofall receipts. Earnings jumped by 43% but only accounted for 7.6% ofthe total, while federal grants-in-aid made up 25%, and sales, inter­est and other miscellaneous items provided the remaining 6.8%.

A surplus of $25 million in the general fund at the end of fiscal 1968 represented an increase of $5 million over the previous year con­tinuing a five-year trend of surplus accumulation (page 37).THE COUNTIES

Total operating revenues for the four counties was $113.1 million in fiscal 1968. Act 97, SLH 1965, transferred the responsibility for hospitals and the maintenance and building of schools from the coun­ties to the State. This has altered the counties' revenue and expend­iture patterns significantly, particularly in 1967 and 1968.

Real property taxes continue to provide more than half (56%) of the operating revenues for all the aountiee (page 29). In Honolulu,63% of the revenues come from this source, but on the neighbor islands state-aid grants provide the major source of revenues: 45% for Kauai,42% for Maui, and 38% for Hawaii. However, property taxes are thesecond largest source gaining each year in overall percentages.1. Adjusted for $29.5 million in real property taxes due in 1967 but

oolleoted in 1966.

HOW GOVERNM ENT SPEN D S ITS MONEY

HAWAII STATE AND COUNTIESOperating expenditures of the State and counties exceeded $523

million in fiscal 1968 (pages 41-43). Nearly 80% ($416.5 million) of this total was spent by the State government. Public education out­lays were the single most expensive item for the State while the costs of public safety led in the counties. Fiscal 1968 total expenditures have risen by $39 million (8%) over the 1967 figure.

Although Hawaii ranks as the 4th highest state in the nation in total per capita direct general expenditures ($667 as compared with the national average of $474), it is not among the top 10 states in the usually high per capita spending areas of public education, wel­fare and highways (page 39), The 50th State's top rankings in compar­ison with the other states were in general government (3rd highest at $30 per capita), police and fire protection (6th at $33), interest paid on debt (7th at $21), and higher education (7th at $74).

Public employees in Hawaii earn more on the average than those in all but seven other states (page 46). The amount for full-time equiv­alent employees in Hawaii is $604 per month as compared with the U. S. average of $561. The highest average wage goes to higher education employees ($759). Coupled with the higher than average salaries, the number of public employees per 10,000 population stands at 429 - well above the national average of 386 with a ranking of 12th highest in the nation. This explains to some degree one of the reasons for the ever-increasing costs of government operation.STATE OF HAWAII

Education costs, a responsibility of the State government since 1966, were the largest single expense of the State in 2968 (page 41). Spending for public education, libraries and University of Hawaii reached $172 million or 41% of the total State expenditures for the year. Highway costs dropped to $36 million - a decrease of 13% from 1967. Combined health and welfare expenditures were nearly $57 mil­lion (13.7%) .

School enrollment in Hawaii has increased by 24% since 2958 (page 52). Total enrollment reached 228,997 in the fall of 1968. Public schools account for 76% of the total; private schools 14%; and the University of Hawaii and the Community College System made up the re­maining 10%. Public school teachers in Hawaii receive an average sal­ary of $8,100 per year and teach classes with an average teacher-pupil ratio of one teacher per 24 pupils,THE COUNTIES

County expenditures were $206.7 million for fiscal 2968 (pages 42-43). Police, fire and other public safety costs represented 27% ($28.6 million) of the total (page 44). Debt service (principal and interest payments) on county bonds ran)ced next at 16% ($17 million). General government and staff agencies made up another 12% ($13 mil­lion), Act 97, SLH 1965, transferred the responsibility for hospitals and the maintenance and construction of schools from the counties to the State. This has resulted in a significant shift in the expendi­ture patterns of the counties, particularly in the last two years.

Honolulu City and County expenditures totalled $82 million - 77% of the total for all four county governments. Public safety costs of $21.5 million (26%) were the largest item followed by debt service of $14.7 million or 18%. General government and health and sanitation accounted for 10% and 9% respectively.

Maui County's expenditures were close to $8 million. As with the other counties public safety was the primary object of expenditures ($2 million - 27%) with highways next at over $1 million (18%). Gen­eral government was 3rd (16%), and pension and retirement expenditures 4th (12%) .

Hawaii County also expended its largest sum on public safety ($2 million) - this was 28% of the total expenditures of $22 million. Government control and staff agencies were next with $2.9 million (26.5%). Pension and retirement, debt costs and highways followed with each costing approximately $1 million, and the combination of the three makes up 32% of the total expenditures.

Kauai County costs were more than $5.6 million. Public safety took 33%, highways 22%, general government 15%, and pension and re­tirement 11%.

THE LONG T E R M PU BLIC BO NDED DEBT

HAWAII STATE AND COUNTIESstate and local long-term per aapita debt at June SO, 1967 was

$641, almost $100 above the national per capita average of $544. Nine states have more debt outstanding on a per capita basis. When debt is related to personal income, Hawaii ranks 17th highest in the country. Debt in Hawaii is 158% of tax collections for a ranking of 27th.

Public bonded debt outstanding at December 31, 1968 increased 1S% over the 1967 amount outstanding and now totals $533.8 million (page 59). Of this amount, 84% ($448.4 million) are general obligation bonds chargeable directly to general revenues of the state and/or counties. The remaining $85.4 million are revenue bonds repaid from special earmarked receipts which include airport earnings, harbor funds, fuel taxes, and highway revenues. Other revenue issues includ­ed in the total but repaid from earnings or fees include: water util­ities, University of Hawaii student housing, and multi-deck parking structures of the State. The public bonded debt excludes Hawaii Housing Authority revenue bonds (which are backed by the federal gov­ernment) and Improvement District Bonds of the City and County of Hon­olulu since they are payable from special assessments made on real property owners.STATE OF HAWAII

The Constitution of Hawaii limits debt to 3.5 times defined aver­age general fund revenues of the three fiscal years immediately pre­ceding the session of the legislature authorizing such debt. Under this provision, the limit on December 31, 1968 was $776.0 million (3.5 times revenues of $221.7 million).

Total funded debt chargeable to this limit on December 31, 1968was $356.4 million. Outstanding bonds of $176.9 million amounted to49.6% of the funded debt; authorized but as yet unissued bonds ac­counted for the remaining $179.5 million (50.4%). The debt margin was $419.6 million.

In addition, the State has $115.7 million in outstanding and $33.9 million in authorized-unissued general obligation debt for which the State has pledged its full faith and credit but does not count against the debt limit.

Revenue bonds issued by the State equalled $44.4 million, withharbor bonds making up the bulk - $29.6 million - of this total. Air­port bonds amounted to $12.7 million. University of Hawaii housing bonds amounted to $1.3 million, and multi-deck parking structures add­ed the remaining $0.8 million (page 59).THE COUNTIES

County debt is limited by the Constitution to 15% of the net property valuations within the respective county. At December 31, 1968, general obligation debt outstanding for the four counties was $174.9 million (page 62). Of this amount, $155.8 million were county issues, and $19.1 million were issued for the counties by the State (but are chargeable against the counties' debt limit and are payable from county revenues). Authorized-unissued bonds amounted to $35.8 million.

Water revenue bonds outstanding at the end of the year totalled $41.0 million (page 59).
