NOM Loses Again In Maine

Today Maine's campaign finance ethics commission rejected NOM's request to suspend an investigation into their activities.

The group, which was the biggest contributor to the successful Yes on 1 campaign to repeal the state's same-sex marriage law, argued in a letter to the commission that it did not have the legal power to conduct an investigation. But on a 4-0 vote this morning, the commission rejected that argument. "It seems to me if this was such a compelling issue for them they would have brought it earlier," said Commission Chairman Walter McKee. "I have no doubt this will be appealed to Superior Court."

Sad trombone for Slaggie!
