TAX REFORM REVEALED




REALTOR PARTY NEWS - NOVEMBER 2017
Join 200,000+ NAR members opposing Congressional tax reform bills. The House passed a bill that would reduce the value of the mortgage interest deduction, eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes, and cap the property tax deduction - increasing taxes for many homeowners. Next: A possible Senate vote. Act now.

County explores homeless solutions
The County may establish a safe zone to help the homeless population. Garden Island

"While the county has not implemented a safe zone here on Kauai, it is an option that we are considering," Sarah Blane, Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.'s chief of staff, wrote in an email. "However, we would need to ensure that we site a location that has access to water, electricity and is in close proximity to services. Proper management and security of the site would also be key factors that we would need to work out prior to us proposing a safe zone or similar operation."
