Lawmakers finish veto overrides

The state Senate overturned four of Gov. Linda Lingle's vetoes on Thursday, the last day of session, following the House, which overrode the vetoes on Tuesday.

The Senate chose not to override vetoes on bills related to contractor violations and disability benefits that the House dealt with Tuesday.

The House, meanwhile, chose not to hold an override vote on a bill that would allow Hawai'i to join an interstate compact and elect the president by popular vote instead of the Electoral College.

The Senate voted to override the bill on Tuesday.

Here are the vetoes overriden by the Senate Thursday:

*HB10 -- Requires pharmaceutical companies participating in the Hawai'i Rx Plus program to provide rebates for prescription drugs. (Vote: 18-4-3)

*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: 18-4-3)

*HB863 -- Requires construction companies to pay prevailing wages when at least half of a project is for state or county use. (Vote: 19-3-3)

*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: 19-3-3)

The House did the right thing on the Electoral College/Popular Vote bill. Hopefully, we won't see it again.
