AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Spirit Airlines fallout: After the budget carrier abruptly shut down, a Spirit lawyer apologized in bankruptcy court to travelers who may now be “priced entirely out,” as higher jet-fuel costs tied to the Iran war and tougher competition squeeze low-cost flying. Hawaiʻi gas watch: GasBuddy says Hawaii prices rose 2.3 cents to $5.62 a gallon over the past week. Local enforcement & health: The state AG pushed back on claims about Medicaid fraud, citing more than $14M in recoveries since 2021, while a $50M allocation moves an Outpatient Care Center in Kona forward. Housing & taxes: Hawaii County is weighing property tax hikes to close a $15M budget gap, with higher rates targeted at nonresidents and second homes. Public safety: Maui Police Officer Suzanne O was added to the Hawaii Law Enforcement Memorial. Weather: Trade-wind showers linger, with windier, drier conditions expected later this week. Business & travel: Trinity Investments and HotelPlanner announced a distribution partnership for hotel bookings.
