Bob Phillips, executive director of the watchdog group Common Cause North Carolina, said "this whole situation cries out for sunshine and accountability, and it doesn't sound like there was any of that in place."

He questioned the results of the $5,000 donation and the awkward solicitation between the first lady and a commission chairman her husband appointed.

"It could be a proper expenditure, but what did they really get for that?" Phillips said. "What was the goal of it? I think that's uncertain."
