Attention Farmers & Ranchers on Oahu! Horse Alert!
The city & county of Honolulu is considering horses as pets rather than livestock! Agriculture land designation is at risk. The possibility exists for taxes to rise as high as 400%! A meeting was held tonight in Waimanalo with Ikaika Andersen, etc, so that horse owners could make their positions heard.
Please comment if you attended the meeting, or if you would like to weigh in on this issue. While the new designation is intended to prevent "gentleman farming", it also places a burden on small farmers who need and use the tax reduction.
