Palin contract sparks investigation of CA university foundation

53158878
The foundation has previously denied requests by The Associated Press and state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, to disclose Palin's compensation package under the California Public Records Act. Foundation board president Matt Swanson did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Brown's investigation.
