Federal Emergency Management Agency officials are staying at expensive luxury hotels in Maui, located "on the other side of the island" from recovery efforts, the DailyMail.com reported.
FEMA officials, who have been sent to Hawaii to assist with recovery efforts following the deadly fires, are reportedly staying in posh Maui resorts that start at $1,000 per night, according to the outlet.
Meanwhile, the devastating wildfires have taken the lives of at least 114 people, left thousands of individuals without homes, and caused roughly $5 billion in damages. FEMA's slow response to the disaster has received widespread criticism, and now the agency's tone-deaf choice of lodging has sparked additional outrage.
The DailyMail.com stated that approximately 1,000 FEMA workers are staying at four resorts in Wailea on the taxpayers' dime. Three of the hotels, including the Fairmont Kea Lani, Four Seasons, and the Grand Wailea Astoria, boast five-star ratings and have previously accommodated wealthy elites and Hollywood celebrities.

Just more government waste, hell when I worked for the department of defense we had limits etc on what we could spend when traveling, if it was put on a government credit card it had to be approved ahead of time.
