Hawaii governor vows to block land grabs as fire-ravaged Maui rebuilds

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Hawaii's governor vowed "to keep the land in local people's hands" when Maui rebuilds from a deadly wildfire that incinerated a historic island community, as local schools began reopening.

Gov. Josh Green said Wednesday that he had instructed the state attorney general to work toward a moratorium on land transactions in Lahaina. He acknowledged the move will likely face legal challenges.

"My intention from start to finish is to make sure that no one is victimized from a land grab," Green said at a news conference. "People are right now traumatized. Please do not approach them with an offer to buy their land. Do not approach their families saying they'll be much better off if they make a deal. Because we're not going to allow it."

Also Wednesday, the number of dead reached 111, and Maui police said nine victims had been identified, and the families of five had been notified. A mobile morgue unit with additional coroners arrived Tuesday to help process and identify remains.

The cause of the wildfires, the deadliest in the U.S. in more than a century, is under investigation. Hawaii is increasingly at risk from disasters, with wildfire rising fastest, according to an Associated Press analysis of FEMA records.

Look at the census data for that town.

Lahaina has been ethnically cleansed.

Then he’ll claim that because the state consists of the people, therefore the land is in the hands of the people.

Yes, that is what I see. The state government will grab the land. To protect it, you see...

“Hawaii’s governor vowed ‘to keep the land in local people’s hands’....”

Unless the price for doing otherwise is right.

Well, he’s done a 180 from his initial announcement then. He must have a second term option, and the back-lash hit him like a ton of bricks. Get rid of him anyway voters.

So... Either the State of Hawai’i will seize the land and graciously allow the locals to live on state land, to “own nothing and be happy” or it will become a National Memorial Park under a federal land grab?

No private sector investors need apply. No bank or credit union will be allowed to fund a mortgage.

Only the all mighty government can play...

He said the other day that he was going to grab that land for the State and then allow the Hawaiians to rent it.

Remember when the Bolsheviks promised "Peace, Land, Bread" to the peasants?

Maui has been cleansed of Deplorables, Lite. What liberals fail to see is that short the antagonist conservatives, the left will start eating its own fringe. This is what we will witness.

Every single member of the WEF should be abandoned in a remote desert with no food or water!

That's cruel. I would at least give them a vehicle (with no Climate Changing greenhouse gassing fuel) but unfortunately they couldn't go anywhere in it. But they could waste time trying to start it.

Did he say BLOCK? His PR agent will later amend that to BACK. A slip of the tongue. No big deal.

Yep. Starting with the governor. Can’t do anything until the power barons are greased first. Locals only can buy? Does that mean Barry and Oprah can create their or own little property companies and be the kingmakers.

Exactly. The state will declare the burnout properties blighted, declare imminent domain and seize it all. They will then sell to the highest bidder.

Maybe in the former US.

Eminent domain, contract law negation, etc has ruled against the people numerous times.

learn

both the Russian and Chinese Communist parties

never would have come to power in those 2 countries

with out

the Marxists in the United States

help.

They were here then
and their commie spawn are still in our government.

They are on the cusp of handing our country and the world to the CCP.

This is the history our public schools made sure we never heard.

Push this out to everyone.
