The County of Maui filed a third-party complaint on Wednesday, May 1 in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaiʻi, against Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile US, Spectrum Mobile, and AT&T related to the August 2023 Maui wildfires.
Maui County attorneys say they have requested subpoenas to work with investigators hired by the state to assess governments’ response to the Aug. 8 wildfires, which killed 101 people, because the investigators have failed to follow realistic and respectful practices for gathering information.
This month we have the pleasure of hearing from JP Schmidt, whose work in the legal sector has been studded with remarkable achievements in the US and abroad.
Later this month members of the public can comment on the proposed amendments, which if approved by voters would reform county elections, policing, zoning and more.
