From Atlanta Unfiltered:

A state ethics investigation is trying to find out whether Lisa Borders, president of the Atlanta City Council and one of the leading candidates in this year’s Atlanta mayor’s race, lobbied state legislators on behalf of her employer without registering as a lobbyist.

A complaint filed with the State Ethics Commission alleges that Borders, then a vice president of Cousins Properties, lobbied in 2007 for passage of the Georgia Smart Infrastructure Finance Act, commonly known as the “private-cities” bill.
