The Maine Ethics Commission voted against such a proposal, favoring a full disclosure provision instead. This bill is in reaction to gubernatorial candidate Barbara Merrill&#39;s decision in the 2006 election to pay her husband $109,000 for work he did on her campaign. Wed, 05 Sep 2007 14:57:33 -0500
