HILO, Hawaii — County councillors in Hawaii are seeking details about how administrators plan to spend millions in disaster funds resulting from the volcanic eruption last year. Hawaii County Council members on Wednesday asked county administrators for details of a possible $60 million payout for disaster response and recovery, the Tribune-Herald reported Thursday. Council members are also seeking details about how county officials will distribute $22 million granted by Gov. David Ige, a Democrat, including $10 million for disaster response and $12 million for disaster recovery. County administrators have said they do not have all the details because much of the planning is ongoing.
