Welcome to HawaiiSunshine!


This transparency portal from the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii offers information about expenditures made by Hawaii's state agencies. Think of it as a check register for the Hawaii government. Clicking on the tabs above will allow you to search for individual expenditures by the name of the vendor (or payee) or browse all expenditures alphabetically by vendor or by the state department/division that paid them. We also have general information about state salaries, allowing you to learn more about the pay rates of state government employees (the pay rates that your taxes are paying for).

We hope you enjoy the site and encourage you to look around, comment on individual items (using the Pork Alerts), and learn more about spending in the Aloha State. And stay tuned as we work to expand our transparency efforts in the effort to bring more accountability to our government.

Thank you for visiting!

01/13/2011AngelGroup$166k on Judiciary equipment rental to Xerox? How many Xerox machines do they have? Why don't they buy some instead? $166k/5k (per machine) would give the Judiciary 33 machines. If they buy more than 33 I'm sure Xerox would give them a screaming deal
