WAILUKU, Hawaii � The state Supreme Court has ruled Maui County Councilman Sol Kahoohalahala is a resident of Lahaina � not Lanai, the district he represents.
It was unclear what effect Tuesday�s 66-page ruling would have, if any.

County Counsel Brian Moto says he and the county clerk�s office are reviewing the ruling to determine its meaning and the county�s options.
Calls seeking comment from Kahoohalahala and council Chairman Danny A. Mateo weren�t immediately returned.
Kahoohalahala was born and lived much of his life on Lanai. But in recent years he has lived in a Lahaina home with his wife while he worked on Maui. He had argued he intended to return to Lanai and live with his brother in a family home.
