Aloha kakahiaka kakou.

Last night, June 23rd at midnight HST, was Governor Cayetano's final
deadline to veto any bill that was passed by the Legislature this past session.

There are two articles in this morning's "Neighbor Island Edition" of the
Honolulu Advertiser.  One deals with the bills that were vetoed by the
governor (the article lists 8, last night's news broadcasts only listed 3).
The other article lists bills that were signed into law by the governor.  In
neither article was HB 118, the Reciprocal Beneficiaries bill, mentioned.

I will check with the Governor's office later today, but I suspect that the
bill became law without his signature.

A hui hou,

Martin
