\nAbout one year ago, the nonprofit Truth in Accounting put out a report called 'Financial State of the States 2021.'  That report compared published financial information from all of the states for fiscal year 2020, graded all of the states, and ranked them based on fiscal health.
\n
\nHawaii received \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 an 'F.' The report compared assets with bills, and the shortfall came to about $37,000 per taxpayer.

\nWhat can we as a state do to pull ourself out of this mess?
