Iniulat ng AI Larawang ginawa ng AI Fact checked
A voter-approved law in Maine capping contributions to super PAC-style political committees at $5,000 has triggered a federal lawsuit, Dinner Table Action v. Schneider, that could help determine how far states may go in regulating independent‑expenditure PACs. Advocates say the case could clarify federal campaign‑finance precedent and potentially bolster states’ ability to police big‑money donations.
Natagpuan ng Political Finance and Affairs Department (PFAD) ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) na walang paglabag sa batas ng eleksyon nang tanggapin ni Sen. Francis Escudero ang P30 milyong donasyon mula kay Lawrence Lubiano, pangulo ng Centerways Construction and Development Inc. Inirekomenda ng PFAD ang pagtatapos ng imbestigasyon dahil wala raw ebidensya ng paglabag sa Section 95 ng Omnibus Election Code.

Comelec Chairman George Garcia stated that the commission is reviewing a recommendation on the matter. The decision will precede the resolution of a related complaint against Escudero.
