The Star-Advertiser had an article about this a couple days ago. It is behind their paywall, but you can read the full article via the Proquest news database if you have a library card.

Kenoi probably should have had a lawyer look this over before signing. Oh wait...

Excerpt: Kenoi's excuses cannot overcome the plain facts
"
Here is what Mayor Billy Kenoi signed when he was given a Hawaii County purchasing card (pCard):

"I understand that the use of the pCard to make personal purchases is prohibited, unless specifically authorized. I will not use the pCard under any circumstances for unauthorized personal use."

The 12 pages of rules for how county employees may use the credit card include the warning that they could be subject to disciplinary action is "the pCard is used to purchase alcoholic beverages (unless within the Mayor's policy) or any substance, material or service which violates policy, law or regulations ..."

The mayor's policy, according to news reports, is that county employees can buy booze if "necessary for the entertainment of dignitaries by the Mayor or others."

The pCard is given to county employees "to make small purchases to reduce the number of purchase orders needed."

Purchases must be budget items "for a legitimate department purpose."

And if you don't follow the rules, besides having to give up the card, you could be "subject to further disciplinary measures."

Those are the rules.
