The Victims Of The Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii Fires ARE SPEAKING OUT!! They’re Calling Out The LAND GRAB & Biden’s LIES!
NEW: 2023 Maui County Council Meeting Residents Say LAHAINA IS NOT FOR SALE. CITY COUNCIL IS MEETING WITH DEVELOPERS BEHIND THEIR BACKS & UNELECTED PEOPLE MAKING DECISIONS
THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR LAND STOLEN BEFORE OUR VERY EYES: “Biden said that, you know, Maui is going to decide Maui's future. But again, one person on Oahu is currently meeting with developers, meeting with private landowners, and is not meeting with the public”
“I am testifying on my concerns of the governor's emergency proclamation that happened three weeks prior to the fire and how it suspended seven state statutes of which exonerated everything that you guys are in charge of, covers county organization administration, chapter 46, collective bargaining was rescinded, school impact fees, collective bargaining was rescinded. And to my knowledge, this was the first emergency proclamation in the country that didn't have a preceding incident.
Normally it's like a hurricane, boom, we got emergency proclamation but this was just, from my knowledge, was just to streamline development on Maui, and it is allocated all decision-making power to one person, the housing officer of the governor, Nani Medeiros, who's unelected, who can trump every single thing that you do and everything that you say and every item that we cover without any input from the community without any public discourse, without sunshine law.
Before I go to my, you know, tomorrow I love what you said, La Jena's not for sale, please include us. But I don't see that happening. And I was able to meet with Nani Maderas. I graciously invited her into my home in order to speak with teachers from the Burn down King and they're moving forward with, they're meeting with developers, private landowners, and not a lot of community unless you know how to maneuver correctly. So before I go to my next item, I would just like to ask each council member to let me know, are you in favor of this emergency proclamation that takes away sunshine law, collective bargaining, your, all your power in decision making?
—-Everything you, I just can't say enough, everything that you do can be trumped by one person who's unelected and has no community input.
—- This is disaster capitalism. Five billion dollars are coming to Maui and sticky fingers are here to take it all and develop everything without any input. Lahaina needs to decide what happens in Lahaina.
And but it's not just there, it's everywhere. Anything you do on this island can be trumped by one person. And more people need to be standing up and saying that this is not how government works. This is not how we teach our children how government works. And this cannot move forward. Let me see, whew.
—- So Biden came and spoke with the community at the Civic Center, and Biden said that, you know, Maui is going to decide Maui's future. But again, one person on Oahu is currently meeting with developers, meeting with private landowners, and is not meeting with the public. And that should be front page everywhere. And anything you do can be trumped by one person without any notice, and you won't know until it happens. I'm thankful for Biden coming here when he did, not right away, and being there for the community. But this is a state and county issue and the state and the county are going to decide how the rebuilding efforts go. And I would really like to see the county take reconsider what they've if they've been in favor of this and pass a resolution against against the governor's emergency proclamation on affordable housing that happened three weeks prior to. the wildfire. Thank you very much. I appreciate the time to speak”

Here's the EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION made by Gov Josh Green just WEEKS BEFORE the Maui fire. The "emergency" is supposedly a housing crisis but local residents fear its just a ploy that enables the state gov't to override local efforts and concerns.
Hawaii Gov Takes Dramatic Action To Solve Housing Crisis. But Is He Going Too Far?
Critics question the decision to suspend laws to streamline the approval process for development.
July 17, 2023
Hawaii could see construction of 50,000 new homes over the next three to five years for residents of all income levels if an executive order issued Monday by Gov. Josh Green achieves its intended purpose. The order suspends a half dozen state and county laws, primarily focusing on land use, historic preservation and environmental review.
Titled “Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing,” the measure invokes a state law giving the governor broad power to suspend laws that impede a response to emergencies such as natural disasters or the coronavirus pandemic. In this case, the emergency is a shortage of housing and the response is to lower regulatory barriers to building homes.
…..
The fast-tracked environmental review process will largely be conducted by the working group and housing officer. While Green promised the group and officer will work transparently, the working group will not be subject to Hawaii’s Sunshine Law, which among things requires decision-making agencies to hold their meetings in public.
