Tina is a state division head who oversees a contract between her department and a private consultant. For Christmas, Tina receives a smartphone from the consultant. Tina knows that she cannot accept this gift, but what should she do with the smartphone? 

A. Give the smartphone to one of the hardworking employees in her division. 

B. Donate the smartphone to her favorite charity because employees are allowed to accept any gift as long as they donate it to charity. 

C. Return the smartphone to the consultant because employees may not accept prohibited gifts.

The answer is in the Hawaii State Ethics Commission‘s latest newsletter!
