Yesterday was the vote of the Kauai County Council for the veto override of GMO-Pesticide Bill 2491.
Council Members Mel Rapozo and Ross Kagawa voted "NO" on the Kauai mayor Bernard Carvalho's veto, effectively killing the bill -
BUT... Council Member Gary Hooser saved the day by calling for a vote to 'recess' the meeting until this Saturday.
Tomorrow, the council will try to pick a new council member to replace the councilwoman Nadine Nakamura who resigned as of October 31st to join the mayor's staff.
If a new member can be agreed to tomorrow, the vote to override the veto may happen as soon as Saturday November 16th, at 11am.
You should be able to watch online from the Kaua'i county Council website: http://www.kauai.gov/Government/WebcastMeetings/tabid/400/Default.aspx
Cross your fingers they can pick a new council member by tomorrow - who will vote to override the mayor's veto. [IB Publisher's note: In the last election in November 2012 it was Kipukai Kualii who was the runner-up for the seventh County Council seat. He would be one logical candidate and would likely vote for Bill 2491].
