A new resolution was introduced last week. The content isn’t really important, for the moment. What was interesting was the number of Honolulu City Council members who introduced it: eight.

Everybody but Breene Harimoto appears to have signed on before the resolution was heard in committee or even introduced. That struck us as odd, considering the Sunshine Law‘s proscription against board members discussing board business outside of board meetings.

The resolution isn’t unique; we’re told that it’s common practice for resolutions and bills to be circulated around the office before introduction. And we’re also told that signing on isn’t a pledge of support but instead just a signal of interest in having the issue heard publicly.

There may be nothing here, but we’ll look first before making a determination. We’re starting with the Sunshine Law itself, and the Office of Information Practices that administers it.

We’ll report back if and when we get more. Meantime, please add your expertise.
