Ledge Pau With Revived Bills

By /
House Speaker Calvin Say and Senate President Shan Tsutsui had to extend the extended session for another 15 minutes, but conferees on House Bill 304 — money for health, social and community programs — signed off on a conference draft.

That made for a clean sweep — 47 for 47 — of the bills that were revived over the weekend.

Mild applause broke out after the final vote. David Ige and Marcus Oshiro, looking dog-tired, expressed their gratitude to one another for having finally settled business.
