  I think they might have misunderstood her when she said that she sought enlightenment

  She makes 116K. Not bad but probably less than some state employees. I've been in jobs where the head of the team or department got everyone something so we pulled moneybto get them something. Never seemed unfair to me. >
  
  I don't know if a state where the governor is the highest-paid employee. Usually, it's a football coach by a wiiiiide margin. (Think millions, frequently.) Still, $116k is pretty solid when the highest-paid employee in South Dakota gets in the $300k area, at least compared with the margins elsewhere.
  The real comparison is to what her staff makes and whether she gave them gifts.
