檀香山多斯桑托斯-塔姆当选市议会议长 6比2通过

夏威夷州檀香山市消息:檀香山市议会11月5日下午投票,以6比2选举第六选区议员泰勒·多斯桑托斯-塔姆(Tyler Dos Santos-Tam)为市议会议长,现任议长汤米·沃特斯(Tommy Waters)在表决中弃权。
多斯桑托斯-塔姆代表的第六选区覆盖市中心、卡卡阿科、卡利希与努乌阿努,包括华埠在内的檀香山城市核心区。他此前提出议会领导层改组决议,自荐议长并提名埃丝特·基艾纳(Esther Kiaaina)为副议长;提名斯科特·西本(Scott Nishimoto)为议事领袖是该自荐提案的内容,未见表决确认。
沃特斯将于明年1月离任,改组动议源于今年10月初五名议员在怀帕胡一家餐厅聚会引发的公开会议法争议。州信息公开办公室正调查该次聚会是否违反公开会议法。
多斯桑托斯-塔姆在11月3日大选中寻求第二个四年任期,他表示将以市议会新领导层推动城市核心区治安与基建议程。
Honolulu's Dos Santos-Tam Elected City Council Chair in 6-2 Vote
Honolulu, Hawaii — The Honolulu City Council voted on the afternoon of November 5 to elect District 6 Councilmember Tyler Dos Santos-Tam as council chair by a 6-2 vote, with incumbent Chair Tommy Waters abstaining.
Dos Santos-Tam's District 6 covers downtown, Kakaako, Kalihi and Nuuanu, the urban core of Honolulu including Chinatown. He had earlier introduced a council reorganization resolution proposing himself as chair and Esther Kiaaina as vice chair; his naming of Scott Nishimoto as majority leader was part of that self-nomination proposal and has not been seen confirmed by a vote.
Waters will leave office in January. The reorganization move stemmed from a Sunshine Law controversy over a gathering of five councilmembers at a Waipahu restaurant in early October. The state Office of Information Practices is investigating whether that gathering violated the open meetings law.
Dos Santos-Tam sought a second four-year term in the November 3 general election and said he would use the council's new leadership to advance public safety and infrastructure agendas for the urban core.
