Honolulu City Council Action: Waters Sworn In, Anderson Elected Chairman
Tommy Waters defeated Trevor Ozawa for the District 4 post in a special election last month.
Tommy Waters was sworn in as a member of the Honolulu City Council on Wednesday after working overtime to win a special election last month against Trevor Ozawa.
Ozawa had narrowly outpolled Waters for the District 4 seat representing East Honolulu last November, but the Hawaii Supreme Court invalidated that result, ruling that some late-arriving ballots were improperly counted.
Mike Formby held the District 4 post this year on an interim basis.
Meanwhile, Councilman Ikaika Anderson was elected council chairman Wednesday, taking the post that Ozawa had expected to hold earlier this year.
