Maui Budget Watch: The Maui County Council is set to weigh a $1.6 billion budget after a committee recommended trimming capital projects while boosting day-to-day funding. Neighbor-Island Shipping Costs: Hawaii lawmakers are paving the way for regular Young Brothers rate hikes, following a contentious 26% increase and a push for inflation-linked adjustments.
