Stand for Marriage Maine says it raised $1.1 million and spent more than $941,000. The Legislature approved the bill and Gov. John Baldacci signed it into law in May. But the law has not gone into effect, pending the outcome of the election. The opposing political action committees released their figures Tuesday, the deadline for filing their latest quarterly reports with state campaign regulators. The campaigns are trying to persuade voters through TV ads and other media in advance of the Nov. 3 people's veto referendum.
