Fred's position on the first two readings in Council was against bill 256 which was written by Chairman Yagong. He agreed with most of us in Leilani that see no justification for several components of that Bill as well as the accompanying bill 257 calling for an evacuation plan. I have asked about the missed meeting, at which the Chair was going to ask for an override vote but then delayed it, and still don't quite know what might have happened. I think Fred's previous position would have stood and that there would have not been enough votes to override the mayor's veto if it had come up. My opinion is that Fred is on the right side of this, wanting to know more before making such a big change.
