My electricity runs about $0.55 per kWh.
This BS agreement will push it at least 20% higher.
What happened in Lahina was standard “AiNoKea”
I live on the BI but I will pay thier bills
for bad decisions on the part of Honolulu centric Democrats.
Most Lahina people that were burned out will leave Hawaii.
The crappy plantation houses they lived in will have to be replaced by modern houses costing many times more than the owners could afford, so write off that group of people, they can’t afford modern housing.
Until you have seen Plantation housing think of it as single walled, slave housing, cheap and expendable.
That is why it burned so fast.
That is what that part of Lahina was.
I’ve lived in Hawaii 24 years now so I know their
“I’m a victim” BS. Don’t buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will this ensure the recovery of their properties from the Elite vultures circling above?
And how much will find its way in to politician’s pocket?

A lawsuit settlement is a reflection of your chances against the mainstream press and the jury pool who get influenced by them. Hawaii’s press and its potential jurors are purely communist.

The State of Hawaii, Maui County, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Kamehameha Schools and other defendants have agreed to pay $4.037 billion to settle legal claims related to wildfires that destroyed much of Lahaina and killed 102 people in August 2023.
HECO said in a statement its part of the agreement is $1.99 billion. The settlement term sheet, which was filed in Maui state court on Friday, did not disclose the amounts individual defendants would pay.
The agreement marks the culmination of months of court-ordered mediation and ends speculation that a deal was close. Also agreeing to settle are Spectrum Oceanic, Charter Communications, Cincinnati Bell, Hawaiian Telcom and several entities affiliated with West Maui Land Co. and Launiupoko Water Co.
A major outstanding question involves what happens to lawsuits brought by insurers who have paid out billions of dollars in claims.
According to the Hawaii Insurance Division, claims paid as of June 30 totaled $2.34 billion including $1.37 billion for property damage. Insurers have filed several so-called subrogation lawsuits seeking reimbursement from the defendants for these claims.
These insurers did not sign on to the settlement term sheet. And if they were given a priority for payments from the settlement fund, it would mean significantly less money for fire victims.
Plaintiffs have argued that Hawaii law calls for fire victims to be made whole before the insurance companies can be reimbursed.
The term sheet essentially creates a 90-day deadline for one of two things to occur: either the insurers settle the subrogation claims or a court determines that, in the event of a final settlement, the insurers’ recovery would come from policyholders who received settlement payments — and not from the defendants
