  Caldwell and C&C of Honolulu have to do this, not Gov Ige. The state has no authority to enforce county zoning laws. 
  
  Until the county enforces zoning ordinances,  the State should collect all the $millions in taxes that are due on transient vacation rentals. If brokers like AirBnB are able and willing to help with this,  let's do it.
  
  Besides, collecting taxes on these transactions just makes them less attractive/profitable. If anything, tax rates should be increased (and collected) for undesireable transactions like these. 
  
  The lack of common sense of Huivaa and other opponants of thus bill shifted $millions in lost revenue onto tesident taxpayers when Ige vetoed it last year. Let's not make the same foolish mistake again.
