HAWAI’I: LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES LINGLE VETO

If they build it, they will come: As expected, tonight the Hawai’i legislature overrode Gov. Linda Lingle’s veto of HB 1830.

HAWAI’I: LINGLE DUMPS THE DUMP–VETOES HB1830

According to the HI legislative page, this afternoon Gov. Lingle vetoed HB1830–the Safe Haven bill.
