Don Beason no longer works for Carolina Ballet.
The lobbyist had represented the nonprofit ballet company based in Raleigh. But Executive Director Lisa Jones e-mailed Dome to say that the "relationship expired" on June 30.
"Mr. Beason donated his services," she wrote.
Carolina Ballet is still listed as an active account on the Secretary of State's list of Beason clients. He resigned his contract with Cingular Wireless (now AT&T Mobility) on June 13 and with Progress Energy on Aug. 3. His contract with BB&T was terminated on Aug. 10.
The once-top lobbyist has been under an ethics cloud since disgraced former House Speaker Jim Black said in July that Beason loaned him $500,000 in 2000.
He is still registered as a lobbyist for the N.C. Railroad Company, Dale Earnhardt Inc., the city of Hickory and Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Co.
