Actually the unsolicited gift provision is under US Postal law (don't ask me
for the cite right now - I'm buried), so it applies everywhere.

I believe that the 'unsoliticed gift' laws are state by state, and only
count for certain receivers (depending on the state). As I recall, if I got
that item, then I could claim it a gift and walk away smiling (cause I'm
state gov). A private firm might not have that good fortune.
Truth be told, I hate Aspen. I avoid it as much as possible. Unfortunately,
I'm in the midst of my own 'fun' situation with them right now.
