• Tax cuts preserved, immigration enforcement limited as Legislature sends final bills to Green (westhawaiitoday.com subscription) — Ocean Pointe residents are set to keep significant state income tax cuts through 2031, as Sen. Kurt Fevella backed a compromise bill that preserves relief for about 90% of Hawaii households while raising rates only on the highest earners. Lawmakers also boosted the state’s rainy day fund, tightened some campaign finance rules, limited local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and shifted spending to protect social programs and natural resources.
