Chris LisinskiState House News ServiceBOSTON — Opponents of a new worker benefits ballot question campaign on Monday asked state campaign finance regulators to investigate the question's backers, who alleged in response that the complaint is based on a "willful misunderstanding" of state law. His group convened its own OCPF ballot question committee on Tuesday. The group neither committed to nor ruled out a ballot question campaign until last week. Committee officials indicated in their paperwork that "no money has been raised or spent prior to the organization of the ballot question committee," which Firestone alleged is a "false claim." State campaign finance law requires corporations or associations to disclose all expenditures made to promote or oppose a ballot question, including some "made in anticipation that a question will appear on a ballot."
