The state Fair Political Practices Commission is investigating whether former state Sen. Dick Ackerman illegally lobbied his former legislative colleagues on behalf of the Orange County fair board.
The commission's executive director, Roman Porter, confirmed Wednesday that Ackerman was under investigation, but declined to discuss the case, as did Ackerman.
"I am aware of the State Lobbying law and I complied with it regarding the OC Fair," Ackerman wrote in an email. "As a requirement of the State Bar Rules regarding the attorney client privilege I am not allowed to make specific comments on client matters."
State law prohibits lawmakers from lobbying their former colleagues for a year after leaving office.
