Gov. Josh Green says it will take "a lot of creative solutions" to move forward in West Maui. It's been over two months since wildfires burned down homes and displaced thousands of Lāhainā residents. Local and national officials continue to work on providing housing options.
Green spoke to The Conversation about a program to provide some $50 million in aid to families for everything from buying cars to paying rent. He heads off to the nation's capital next week to meet with President Joe Biden and discuss Maui relief.
The governor also shared his thoughts on the situation in Gaza and Israel, where some of his relatives still live. He said he always tries to err on the side of preaching peace.
