Ethics probe opens into Lombardi VIP travel ties
State ethics panel begins inquiry after records show Lombardi staff booked $11,000 in VIP travel in two fiscal years.

Comptroller records show the state paid VIP directly while Travel requests allowed billing after travel. Senate chair Present seeks full information as committee weighs possible investigation.
