ALBANY, N.Y. -- A state watchdog organization is investigating whether parties and events thrown by three companies at last week's Democratic National Convention violated state law, a source told The Associated Press.

The New York Temporary Commission on Lobbying also plans to closely monitor the bashes planned for the Republican National Convention starting Aug. 30 in New York City.
