No idea. I am a single signature in a business of one with NO VIOLATIONS. I emailed back WHY and who is paying for parking–no reply yet (no surprise).

Rob Moore replied to the topic Hawaii Tour Helicopter Operations in the forum Aviation Legistation 8 months, 3 weeks ago

It appears the local helicopter group has not stepped up to talk to the local community to solve the concerns. If they do not, I fear the legislatures will resolve the problem and not necessarily in aviation’s favor. I asked our AOPA representative and our Hawaii Aviation Causus chair to host a meeting to discuss this. I am hoping it happens bu…[Read more]

Rob Moore replied to the topic Tie Down Property Tax in the forum Aviation Legistation 1 year, 6 months ago

I agree it charges tie down renters way too much. I have three tie downs at JRF that are in close proximity and have to pay $300 on each. So I pay $900 a year for an assessed value of approximately $133. I approached Council Woman Pine who ignored me. I am ready to take more action. I think Chapter 13 is too slow.
