$4 billion settlement for 2023 Maui wildfire likely next week
HONOLULU, Hawaii: Gov. Josh Green has told The Associated Press that the parties involved in the Lahaina wildfire lawsuits against the state of Hawaii, Maui County and utilities are close to a global settlement of claims worth a little over US$4 billion.
Green hoped to finalize the details as soon as August 6, two days before the first anniversary of the fire that killed 102 people and wiped out historic Lahaina.
