An ethics complaint has been filed against Reclaim Maine, a PAC supporting gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles, for registering federally instead of with the state, raising transparency issues. - The group raised $70,000 from two allies of Charles, including a lawyer later killed in a nursing home.
- The complaint alleges delayed registration deprived the public of transparency during critical fundraising. - The Maine Ethics Commission plans to discuss the issue at a May 6 meeting.
- Charles leads a seven-way primary to succeed Governor Janet Mills.
