Also in City Ethics records
AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group) also appears in City Ethics Commission filings as a lobbying client or as the payor of behested payments. AEG Plenary Conventions Los Angeles LLC and AEG Management LACC, LLC, which the City pays to run the Convention Center, are AEG companies; AEG files lobbying and behested-payment records under its own name. The records show both; they do not show that one led to the other.
