Alan, maybe to you and politicians "money is no object". But to most it is.  The total money earned in Hawaii to spend on anything is limited. Especially by the billions lawmakers send overseas to DC for attorneys, CA for "experts", Italy for disappointing rail cars, etc
So I believe the more honest, adult, question is how much of already insufficient revenues do you believe should  be taken away from other life saving activities, and pumped into the one you used to display unlimited concern for  other people, i.e. into sprinklers? Reduced medical intervention for infants born to drug addicted women?  Reduce help with meals for the elderly?
Other readers might note: Declaring ones-self responsible for the well-being of others - unasked - is soft slavery. E.g. how women were kept at such disadvantage for so long.  E.g. others deciding how best to spend their money for them, etc.
Any child can demand more spending.  But balancing unlimited good things to do w/ limited money takes adults.
