HILO, Hawaii (AP) — The Hawaii County Council decided to postpone voting on two measures because one of its members, Councilwoman Emily Naeole, was absent from Wednesday's meeting.
Naeole had told her fellow council members she couldn't attend the meeting because she'd be honeymooning on Maui. She and Raymond Beason married Oct. 24.
Naeole supports both measures.
One authorizes the county to sell 737 acres of county land in Hamakua. The other would require the administration to come back for council approval of all major land sales.
Without Naeole present, the votes on the two measures would have likely been 4-4, and neither would have been approved.
The council is now set to vote on the measures Nov. 18.
