Hawaii’s Home Ruler Defies Bill: Governor’s Verdict Looms

In a shocking turn of events, Hawaii’s contentious county bill has reached the desk of Governor, with a single dissenting voice from Home Ruler Kupihea. The bill, which has traversed every stage of the legislative program, has left many speculating about the Governor’s impending decision. On Wednesday, the House passed the measure with a resounding majority, except for Kupihea’s lone vote against it. The unreconstructed Home Ruler claimed that the bill lacked essential provisions, which he deemed necessary.
