This week our Legislature will be recessing after working on one of its important tasks: figuring out how to spend $1 billion of federal money that is being made available to Hawai‘i under the CARES Act.
This federal money is being made available for expenditures that are (1) necessary and incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency; (2) not budgeted for as of March 27, 2020; and (3) incurred before Dec. 31, 2020.
Senate Bill 75, House Draft 1, gave the neighbor islands a share of that money because only Honolulu received a direct allocation of federal funds; gave a few state agencies some money for state COVID response; and then squirreled away the balance, about $636 million, into the emergency and budget reserve fund (also known as the “rainy-day fund”).

Teaching your teen money lessons: smartphone edition | The Seattle Times
Teenagers sure seem to have some champagne and caviar tastes. A survey of nearly 10,000 teens (from households with average income of $65,400) reports that more than eight in 10 already have an iPhone, and nearly nine in 10 expect their next smartphone to be an iPhone. That typically comes at a steep price, compared to less expensive Android smartphones.
Apple's recent rollout of its iPhone SE offers parents an opportunity to serve up a money lesson. At a starting price of $399, the iPhone SE is less than half the cost of other iPhone models — the iPhone 11 starts at $1,000 — but has plenty of the bells and whistles to sate your teen.
