Maine regulator can get financial records from anti-CMP corridor group, judge rules

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 17, 2020

Maine’s campaign finance watchdog can request financial records from a dark-money group opposing Central Maine Power’s proposed $1 billion corridor project as part of a broader investigation, a judge ruled on Monday in state court. Stop the Corridor sued the Maine Ethics Commission in June aiming to shield its donors. But Cumberland County Superior Court Justice Thomas Warren disagreed with the anti-corridor group’s argument that the state agency had no jurisdiction to do so.
