CLAIM: A video shows Hawaii Gov. Josh Green saying he wants the state to acquire land destroyed in the Maui wildfire so that it can turn the town of Lahaina into a “smart city.”
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The video shows Green telling reporters on Saturday, during a visit to Lahaina with FEMA, that he won’t allow the town to become unaffordable for locals and that he is looking into how the state might preserve land in the community.
THE FACTS: While rescue teams are still searching for people missing following the deadly Maui wildfires that started on Aug. 8, social media posts are misrepresenting comments Green made during his recent visit to Lahaina.
“Governor Green wants to turn Lahaina Maui into state lands,” reads one Instagram post that shared the video. “All planned for smart city.”
