• Legislature sends final bills to Green (thegardenisland.com subscription) — Whitmore Village residents are represented in a Senate district whose chair helped preserve major state income tax cuts for about 90% of Hawaii households while trimming agency budgets and ending some commercial tax credits. Lawmakers also advanced campaign finance reforms, limited local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and boosted funding for programs like SNAP and natural resource protection as this year’s session ended.
