HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -

The Hilton Hawaiian Village has been paying the state a $50 fee every time it stages its popular Friday night fireworks show in Waikiki.

But on Friday, the state Land Board has decided to increase that fee to $250.

That's a price increase Hilton says adds up for a show that's done 52 weeks a year.

According to Hilton officials, about 3,000 people watch the fireworks every Friday. And not all of them are hotel guests.

"We come down here for special occasions, for birthdays, just for good weather and to see the full moon, and fireworks besides," said Honolulu resident Pete Swanson.

At a state Land Board hearing Friday, Hilton Hotels Hawaii Area vice President Jerry Gibson said, "Local businesses which serve both local customers and visitors have showcased the Hilton fireworks event as a benefit to their respective businesses and operations."

Gibson said the fireworks show draws additional customers who generate more than $2 million annually in general excise taxes when they spend money at restaurants, on boat tours and other activities. Meanwhile, Hilton pays for the show itself.

"Not including the permit fee, Hilton spends $446,000 yearly for the fireworks productions," said Gibson. "Instead of adding this amount to our profit line, we incur this expense because we truly believe the fireworks production contributes to our community."


State approves big fee hike for Waikiki fireworks show


Does this 'weekly' event NOT bother any Hawaii residents? Every week of the Entire Year, year after Year?

The Hilton Hawaiian Village is a Hotel. Not a home.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village is in Waikiki. The total population, meaning residents, for Waikiki is
32,144. Every Friday of Every Week of Every Month of Every Year?

And The City and County of Honolulu is okay with this?

F.B.I and Attorney General's Office is investigating a few accepted 'donations'?

Who the heck is the F.B.I and Attorney General for Hawaii?


Douglas S. Chin (born July 21, 1966) is an American lobbyist and politician. A lawyer by training, he is the 13th and current Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii, since February 2018. Chin was the Attorney General of Hawaii from March 2015 until February 2018, when he succeeded by law to the position of Lieutenant Governor, following the resignation of Shan Tsutsui. On December 18, 2017, Chin announced his intent to run for the U.S. House of Representatives. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

I think he was the one that wanted to take Mr. Trump to Court on grounds of Unconstitutionality of Traveling rights when the 'travel ban' or as some called it, 'the Muslim ban' was in effect.

Is Honolulu 'City of money' or is it Fantasy island?




What island was Fantasy Island filmed on?
Filming locations. The series was filmed primarily in Burbank, California, with the opening scenes of the enchanting island coastline being that of Kauai, Hawaii (both the Na Pali coast as well as Wailua Falls).

The house with the bell tower, where Tattoo rings the bell, is the Queen Anne Cottage, located in the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia. The plane, "arriving" with the guests, was filmed in the lagoon behind the Queen Anne Cottage. Sometimes, outdoor scenes were filmed at the Arboretum.

Either way, it's neither good nor bad.. just a bit confusing...

'If memory serves me correctly Mr. Catlik's 'fantasy' is to become an instant millionaire'.
'Well that sounds simple enough to me'.
'Simple? Indeed it is. As long as you have 1 million dollars to instantly give Mr. Catlik so he can become an instant millionaire.'
