Two high profile bills dealing with geothermal energy were on Wednesday’s County Council agenda. Both were vetoed by Mayor Billy Kenoi, and the council hoped to overturn the vetoes with a super majority vote.
...
After hours and hours of testimony, the first veto override was taken up. Bill 257: a measure that, if passed as originally intended, would have provided or clarified the county’s evacuation plans in case of a geothermal emergency by August 1st.
...
Eventually, the vote came down. The results: 5 to 4, one vote short the 6 needed to override the mayor’s veto.
