HiloPuna said, "The perspective I was provided on why the Mayor used only the pCard instead of carrying a personal card (which BTW he obviously was capable of qualifying for), was to simplify the accounting between personal and business at the end of every charge cycle."
Who provided that "perspective?" I ask because I recall Kenoi being described more than once as not having a personal credit card. If true, I can think of only two reasons someone who makes about $130,000 per year would not have his own card. Either his personal finances were a total shambles and he couldn't qualify, or he chose not to have a card for philosophical reasons. (I've actually known some financially secure people who didn't like or use credit cards.) Kenoi had no problem whatsoever using someone else's card, however, so he obviously had not qualms about using them. I also wonder why he didn't use a debit card or check for his personal stuff, particularly for the bar association dues.
And how would only carrying the county card simplify the accounting between personal and business charges? It is a sure way to literally get everything mixed up, and Kenoi did so to an extent that went far beyond the occasional mistake that happens when businessmen carry both company and personal cards. The lack of receipts and other documentation is also quite telling. Kenoi may be foolish as RJ says, but he is not so stupid that he can't tell cards apart.
