Intergrating budget challenges in Hawaii

Hello, everyone.

My name is Monica Abbott, and the title of my

presentation is called Integrating Gorgeous Challenges in Hawaii.

Well, the purpose of this presentation is to understand the

budget process of my community.

I would be taking a moment to share how my

government coordinates his budget process and how it links to

key challenges when integrating with other government levels.

Finally, I will use my current event to exemplify these

challenges. According to my state Department of Budget and Finance,

the Hawaii government meet annually between January and made to

perform their session before the government begins a session the

governor must present with binomial um, the two year budget

plan eso in Hawaii.

They usually pass a new budget every odd number year

and supplement a budget every even numbered year.

Other branches of our government, such as the judicial as

well as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, submit their budgets

for consideration to the Legislature.

From here comes the process of expedited spending and tracking

for revenue management begins Mhm.

What do you faces multiple challenges with integrating the budget

process among different government levels, mainly between the legislature and

executive branches, as well as for major cases, conflicts may

arise between state and federal levels.

When conflicts do come about between the Legislature and executive

branches, it is usually due to improper communication and political

and fighting.

It is, um, it is a result when officials with

mixed their agendas, um, to prevent processes for moving forward.

Such conflicts could cause group dynamics to ship or develop,

and priorities may change.

For example, in 2018 are Hawaii officials realized that more

Hawaii residents were moving off island Forget.

With more residents leaving the island, Elise Economy, state would

slow down and the tax revenues would decrease.

Most officials felt that when the session began in 2018,

housing should be the top priority.

While some saw another aspect of our her income source,

which was tourism, tourism spending went down.

The government had a challenge to figure out which issue

was most important to address retaining Mauroy residents or developing

more ways to get tourists to spend while this thing

in Hawaii.

Yeah. Oh, okay, sorry.

Um, so the technical challenges One of the most technical

challenges associated with Hawaii's budget is that we don't have

the funds or tools to address what these major problems

we live on an island where resource is air, very

limited and takes time for those resource is to reach

us. This becomes an issue when all he faces major

issues such as this health path pandemic, the from the

virus. When issues like called 19, arises.

We depend upon the federal government for aid and guidance

for what he had strong leadership from my executive and

legislative departments and did not delay communication between federal and

state agencies.

We would have had more of a quick response towards

the cold in 19 in Hawaii, the company that get

hit with such large numbers of the virus.

In summary, every government faces challenges that impact its budget,

whether it be political reasons, technical reasons or both.

What are the goals is to manage a balance, that

a balance, the budget and our government can't regulate issues

if they do not practice strong communication or continue to

clash their agendas, we cannot grow if our government doesn't

have the proper tools and funding resource is to prepare

for extreme events like 19 ah, well balanced budget can

ease the pressure of decision making processes when government officials

are willing to work together to address them.

Okay, here on my, um my references that I used

for this presentation.

Thank you so much for listening in.

Ah, lot.
