Has the IRS been alerted?

Did Don Beason report all of his pay from the Albemarle Mental Health Center?

At N.C. Policy Watch, Chris Fitzsimon noticed a discrepancy between the payments for lobbying services reported to the Secretary of State and those in a state audit.

The audit (Table 5, page 35) shows a total of $76,082 for "lobbyist services" in fiscal year 2006.

During that time, Beason and his son, Mark, represented Albemarle. But state lobbying forms only list payments of $5,224 from January to September of 2005, $3,201 from September to December, and $4,000 from January to July of 2006.

That's only $12,425 — just a sixth of what was paid per the audit — and it's still high since the fiscal year likely runs from July to June.

As we've noted before, Beason also underreported payments from BB&T, IBM and Progress Energy.
