Hell of a year we’ve had, don’t you think? Death, destruction, hopeless–and that’s just the latest Star Wars film! For a miserable year like this, there can be no greater tribute than a look at all the claims the State of Hawaii paid out to Maui residents during the 2016 fiscal year (under $10,000, of course). Everything that’s below comes from this report–State of Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services Annual Report of Claims and Lawsuits Arbitrated, Compromised, or Settled for $10,000 or less for Fiscal Year 2015-2016.
According to the report, the state paid out a total of $197,057.21 to settle 165 claims to residents (last year, the state paid out $210,431.53 to settle 174 claims, so… yay for the taxpayers?). Anyway, while you’ll definitely want to read through the entire report (expect to see the phrase “damaged by rocks propelled from a weed whacker” A LOT), here are 14 settlements paid out to Maui residents and companies. Enjoy!
