Abstract

First District congressional candidate Tom Allen is accusing state senator Dale McCormick, his opponent in the Democratic primary, of making false claims in her television advertising. McCormick's ad says that she brought thousands of jobs to Maine, and she points to legislation she sponsored that deregulated credit cards and supposedly resulted in MBNA's creation of 1,200 jobs in the state. Shane Flynn of MBNA said McCormick's legislation had no effect on the company's decision to locate to Maine, but McCormick's press secretary, Dave Garrity, backed up the candidate's claim with several pages of evidence. Details.
