Veto overrides take shape

Working late into the evening, the state House voted to override Gov. Linda Lingle's vetoes of bills restricting her appointment powers for the University of Hawaii Board of Regents and vacancies for state Legislature and U.S. Senate.

The House also overturned a veto on a bill relating to union rights to negotiate transfers and other assignments during collective bargaining.

The Senate had overturned the vetoes earlier in the day.

On Thursday, the House will decide whether to follow the Senate and overturn a Lingle veto of a bill to elect the president through a national popular vote.

The Senate will decide whether to override vetoes on six House bills the House overturned Tuesday night.

Here are all of the Senate overrides on Tuesday:

*SB14 -- Requires the governor to make appointments to the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents from nominees chosen by a new advisory council. Increases the board from 12 to 15 members, with geographic representation. (Vote: 17-7-1)

*SB1063 -- Requires the governor to fill vacancies for the state Legislature and U.S. Senate from nominees chosen by the political parties. (Vote: 20-4-1)

*SB1642 -- Allows public-worker unions to negotiate with state and county governments over promotions, transfers, assignments, demotions, layoffs, suspensions, terminations, discharges, or other disciplinary actions. (Vote: 20-4-1)

*SB1816 -- Requires consultation with the kahuna nui of the Mo'okini heiau before any alterations to the state monument and before any additional organized profitmaking venture takes place. (Vote: 20-4-1)

*SB1956 -- Allows Hawai'i to join an interstate compact to elect the president by national popular vote instead of through the Electoral College. (Vote: 20-5)

Here are the House overrides:

*HB10 -- Requires pharmaceutical companies participating in the Hawai'i Rx Plus program to provide rebates for prescription drugs. (Vote: 46-3-2)

*HB853 -- Clarifies that a single violation refers to each separate project where the state finds a contractor has failed to comply with the prevailing wage law. (Vote: 38-11-2)

*HB854 -- Clarifies that temporary total disability benefits for workers shall only be terminated by the state or if a doctor determines the worker is able to return to work and there is a work offer within the worker's medical restrictions. (Vote: 43-6-2)

*HB861 -- Requires that the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations ensure compliance on prevailing wage law for public works projects not directly caused by a government contracting agency. (Vote: 42-8-1)

*HB863 -- Requires construction companies to pay prevailing wages when at least half of a project is for state or county use. (Vote: 46-4-1)

*HB1672 -- Increases the salaries for the deputy auditor, the first assistant to the ombudsman, and the first assistant to the director of the Legislative Reference Bureau. (Vote: 43-7-1)

*SB14 -- Requires the governor to make appointments to the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents from nominees chosen by a new advisory council. Increases the board from 12 to 15 members, with geographic representation. (Vote: 39-10-2)

*SB1063 -- Requires the governor to fill vacancies for the state Legislature and U.S. Senate from nominees chosen by the political parties. (Vote: 41-8-2)

*SB1642 -- Allows public-worker unions to negotiate with state and county governments over promotions, transfers, assignments, demotions, layoffs, suspensions, terminations, discharges, or other disciplinary actions. (Vote: 38-9-4)

*SB1816 -- Requires consultation with the kahuna nui of the Mo'okini heiau before any alterations to the state monument and before any additional organized profitmaking venture takes place. (Vote: 43-3-5)

Lawmakers will decide later whether to return in July to override vetoes the governor makes after the session ends.

Interesting how the Republicans were all over the map on the overrides. What happened to their allegiance to the New Beginning?

The Republicans performance yesterday in regards to the veto overrides was deplorable.
Sen. Gabbard's explanation of why he voted for the override on a bill he voted against during the session was similar to Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" remark. If Republicans lie down in order to avoid conflict, why get involved in public service in the first place?
A sad day. A sad, sad day.

Simple. They, too, need help from all sorts of corners of the map. Glass houses, stones, etc....

Sandman, the actions of the Repubs was not deplorable; it was understandable.

After all, why would you stick with the Governor when you look around and there's been a definite thinning of the herd?

Better to distance yourself from the Governor lest you end up as a "former" Representative or Senator.
