Committee approves Sen Maxmin bill to improve PAC finance laws

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.”

Maxmin. “These are common-sense reforms that Maine voters deserve.”
