IN HAWAII, THE STATE OF LIABILITIES, THE COST OF RAIL IS JUST THE BEGINNING...
Our Unfunded Liabilities cartoon from John Pritchett.
OUR FEBRUARY DOWNTOWN FORUM, THE STATE OF UNFUNDED LIABILITIES
A joint presentation of ThinkTech & Grassroot Institute Sponsored by Hawaii Business Magazine
How can Hawaii deal with the risks of insolvency?
Tens of billions will be coming due soon
Liabilities everywhere: The rail project, the failing state hospital system, overdue maintenance on state buildings and campuses, underfunded public worker pensions and health insurance, and so much more...
Can we pay the bills for these liabilities?
How? What happens if we don't? What are our options? This issue affects everyone in Hawaii and will determine our state's future. We should all be aware of what is coming due and how we can deal with it.
