The part that keeps me wondering is how Kenoi can make about $120,000 per year and not have his own credit or debit card to pay for the personal stuff. How badly do you have to manage your personal finances to be in that situation? How foolish (or arrogant) do you have to be to think that it's OK to violate a policy that you signed off on and that nobody is going to eventually look at? Whether the somewhat vague (IMHO) legal charges stick or not, the lapse in judgement should disqualify Kenoi from higher office.
Some of my friends are already beginning to speculate that this is part of an internal Democratic party scheme to silence a potential challenger to Ige's re-election by an energetic upstart. Given what we know about the Byzantine nature of the local Dems, it might be easy to believe. Personally, I have not seen the level of cleverness or energy from Ige that it would take to do this. It did, however, take almost a year for his minions at the AG office to produce an indictment, so maybe it fits Ige's profile after all. Who knows? Either way, Billy's career needs to be toast.
