The last item on the agenda proved the most intense, as Sen. Clayton Hee spoke at length about his strong reservations over the OHA-Kakaako land settlement. His main argument: The bill isn’t fair, and questions remain unanswered.

The bill passed 24-1, with Republican Sam Slom voting no and Sen. Donna Mercado Kim joining fellow Democrat Hee in voting yes with reservations.

In another business, senators approved OHA flexibility to develop high rises in Kakaako, to create a regulatory structure for an undersea power cable, to charge 10 cents for single-use plastic bags, to direct more money to social programs, to extend digital and film tax credits, to require out-of-state vacation rental owners to hire local managers and to set up a gambling commission to study gambling.
