There are any number of ways in which our tax dollars — millions of dollars — are going down the drain. Sometimes we hear about waste and other times we don't.

Advertiser staff writer Jim Dooley will be "On the Money Trail" in a new column beginning tomorrow. He'll be looking for government waste, but also for your news tips.

If you know that a particular money trail will lead to boondoggle, excessive spending or white elephants, reach Jim Dooley at 535-2447 or jdooley@honoluluadvertiser.com
