Honolulu Council Overrides Veto Of Sit-lie Ban

The council approved the override 6-3 Wednesday. Caldwell vetoed the sit-lie bill last month, saying he didn't like that it extended the ban from commercial areas like Waikiki to areas far from sidewalks, such as the bank of a canal where a small tent city emerged. Caldwell says the bill could face legal challenges if it appears the city is targeting homeless people.Read more on NewsOK.com
