CMP corridor opponents sue to shield donors from public view

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 23, 2020

The Maine Ethics Commission voted last month to require Stop the Corridor to disclose its financial information to the commission so it can determine whether the group should have been required to register as a political committee. If it makes that decision, the nonprofit’s donors would have to be disclosed under state campaign finance laws. A lawsuit, filed in Cumberland County Superior Court, argues that the commission does not have the jurisdiction to investigate the anti-corridor group’s finances.
