Damian Trujillo/NBC Bay Area report that former California Assemblymember Evan Low used his technology-focused nonprofit to pay actor Alec Baldwin more than $227,000 to appear at a tech event and a separate fundraiser for Low, then deliberately tried to conceal the payments, the California Fair Political Practices Commission determined in a filing released Friday.

Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership weighed in on the ethical aspects of Low's situation saying, "He should know better and he should act better if he wants people to have confidence and trust in his ability as a public official and as a leader. He should do everything that he can to make sure his actions are transparent and serve the public interest."
