LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa will return $47,000 in donations from workers and their relatives at two Miami-based companies, his campaign said Thursday.
The announcement came just hours after lawyers for Mayor James Hahn requested the city Ethics Commission investigate the donations from employees at Travel Traders LLC and S.E. Florida Investments — alleging campaign laws might have been broken.
In a statement, Villaraigosa campaign manager Ace Smith said a preliminary review found no evidence of impropriety, but that the money was being returned "out of an abundance of caution."
