Representative Hussey acknowledged the cost structure concern but suggested there's still an argument that t he fees are actually lower than their true value given the use of public r esources.\n\nBoard Member Lualemaga supported the idea because Kalihi prog rams lack funding\, and the extra money could help with youth programs lik e football\, clinics\, housing\, or potentially fixing the gym roof to all ow boxing for youth.\n\nBoard Member Franklin questioned the purpose and e ffectiveness of RPZ.\n\nResident Ms. Lynette Kumalae advocated for the pro gram due to crime and outsider parking complaints\, acknowledging that whi le the fees may be expensive\, financial aid is available and the streets look much better now that outsiders can't park there anymore. Representati ve Hussey agreed that laws can be modified and expressed support for Neigh borhood Boards having budgets for important projects. Board Member Frankli n also supported the idea to restore a budget for Neighborhood Boards. Boa rd Member Kumalae noted how NB16 has influenced how money is spent in Kali hi community through resolutions that have successfully secured new signs and speed limit changes\, and suggested that by partnering with other boar ds and working with representatives\, they can gain more power to influenc e budget decisions in their favor.\n\nRepresentative Hussey warned that th e state faces approximately $1.4 billion in annual federal budget cuts sta rting with Medicaid in 2027\, proposing to address the crisis by increasin g taxes on the wealthiest residents who will receive federal tax breaks\, allowing the state to fill its budget gap while preserving social programs .\n\nBoard Member Soong referenced the National Conference of State Legisl atures in Boston\, suggesting that State could capture Delaware-style corp orate fees\, and requested that Hussey organize another Medicaid informati onal meeting.\n\nBoard Member Franklin suggested State should join a multi -state lottery and partner with Indian reservations for casinos since peop le already travel to Las Vegas to gamble\, arguing it would generate easy revenue like Mississippi. Representative Hussey acknowledged multiple gamb ling bills this past year.\n\nBoard Member Rojas asked if there are any li mits or protections already in place regarding the federal cuts. Represent ative Hussey responded that State has substantial financial reserves to bu ffer the impact but needs to adjust tax structure to ensure billionaires a nd wealthy residents pay their fair share rather than depleting all cash r eserves.\n\nBoard Member Mizuno left meeting [1:45:00]\n\nCongressmember E d Case [1:49:20]: Mr. Adam Muneoka reported they are finalizing their Q3 r eport\, shared highlights from July newsletter covering reconciliation cut s and appropriations\, announced they postponed their July 29 tele-talk du e to the tsunami warning and will reschedule\, and highlighted that servic e academy nominations are available for high school students with applicat ions due October 10.\n\nQuestions\, comments\, and concerns followed [1:51 :00]\n\nBoard Member Franklin thanked Congressmember Case for working on a nd getting the Windfall Act passed after discussing it with him a year and a half ago.\n\nBoard Member Soong thanked Congressmember Case for agreein g to participate with NB16 when they met a couple weeks ago.\n\n7.
