Problems linger for CSAC amid ethics probe, chairman resignation

Written by mmajunkie.com

The California Fair Political Practices Commission is investigating the state's athletic commission over a claim that commissioners accepted free tickets to sporting events they regulated.

The announcement of the probe on Friday follows a report in the Los Angeles Times alleging that California State Athletic Commission officials requested complimentary tickets for themselves, and also family members and friends.

The majority of the tickets were not disclosed to the fair political practices commission, which is required by state law.

In addition, CSAC Chairman Timothy Noonan resigned late last week after a state senator said he would not hold confirmation hearings for Noonan and another commission appointee. The announcement by senate leader Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) that he would not conduct hearings for the two appointees effectively forced Noonan and commissioner Peter Lopez off the CSAC. Noonan chose to resign instead.

The developments are the latest in a series of setbacks for the agency, which has been dogged with management, personnel and ethics issues for years. Problems date back to at least 2003, when an internal audit uncovered inaccurate accounting practices, lax record keeping and staffing shortages.
