I recently wrote my city representative to inquire if legislation could be written to help decrease the cost of car registration for Hawaii’s kupuna.

The city gives residents a break with their property taxes if they make less than $80,000 per year. Can they look into car registration as well?

We know the cost of things (food, gas, housing, utilities and more) in Hawaii is high, but living on a limited income makes it very difficult to pick and choose how that money is spent.

I’m asking my fellow kupuna to reach out to the powers that be to change the way we pay for car registration.
