Staff of Maine Ethics Commission Recomends No Investigation Into Yes on 1 Finances

The Maine ethics commission staff says no investigation is warranted into fundraising by groups supporting the campaign to repeal Maine's gay marriage law. The recommendation goes to the five-member commission, which votes Thursday on whether to launch an investigation. The matter stems from a complaint by Californians Against Hate founder Fred Karger, who says groups contributing to the Stand for Marriage campaign are not reporting the names of many donors as the law requires. Stand for Marriage is leading the push for a people's veto of Maine's gay marriage law Nov. 3.
