Senate drops Turtle Bay motion

The state Senate yesterday discarded a resolution backing Gov. Linda Lingle on the state purchase of Turtle Bay Resort because several senators thought it went too far.

The resolution would have only committed the Senate to a "good faith review" of the terms of any proposed deal, but several senators believed the title of the resolution implied a broader commitment.
