AUGUSTA The Legislature’s Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs passed a bill from Senator Chloe Maxmin, D-Nobleboro, to improve Maine’s laws regarding spending by political action committees.
LD 1621, “An Act To Reform Payments to Legislators by Political Action Committees,” received a vote of 12-0.
“Maine people have no patience for shady politics. The unfortunate truth is that for too long, our laws have left open loopholes for political action committees and candidates to profit off. This bill would make common-sense changes to close those loopholes,” said Sen. Maxmin. “I’m grateful to the committee for their work on this bill, and for their support of smart campaign finance reforms.”

“This bill joins other pieces of legislation this session to ensure that money, campaigns and politics have the cleanest relationship possible. I know that we all hear from our constituents about the need to get big money out of politics. We deserve free and fair elections. We also deserve to know that our elected legislators are not unfairly profiting or benefiting from doing the people’s work,” said Sen. Maxmin. “These are common-sense reforms that Maine voters deserve.”
