The State of Hawaii reported liabilities of only $10.2 billion. IFTA’s detailed analysis discovered that retirement liabilities of $11.9 billion were unreported by the State. When these liabilities are included, the State’s bills total $22.1 billion.

Maybe this is had something to do with the 16 month delay is the reports release... :rolleyes:

The Institute's 50 State Study uncovered it took Hawaii 477 days (almost 16 months) to issue its 2009 CAFR. The June 30, 2009 CAFR was issued on October 20, 2010.
