Billy Kenoi gets a what??

[kalakoa]

Hawaii STATE government is DIRECTLY modeled from the US FEDERAL government

Kenoi "represents" the COUNTY government, which issued a "PURCHASING card".

Until/unless someone produces the relevant pCard documentation, it's ALL speculation.

government credit card is a condition of employment where the employee takes on debt

Kenoi "reimbursed" some of the "questionable" charges.

- if the pCard is really a credit card backed by the holder's financials, these "questionable" charges would first have to have been paid by County in response to a (fraudulent) expense report;

- if the pCard is really a "purchasing" card backed by County financials, the "questionable" charges were immediately fraudulent, possibly subject to some amnesty if corrected in a timely fashion (not years later).

Arguments about "well exactly how fraudulent was it" are nearly pointless: simply use the yardstick "what would my boss/company/bank do to me if I behaved this responsibly?"
