Seacoast Online: Friday marks the deadline for the final campaign spending reports before Mainers go to the polls on Election Day to decide whether to keep or toss the state's gay marriage law. The most recent reports filed on Oct. 13 showed that supporters of Maine's same-sex marriage law had raised $2.7 million. Opponents law had raised far less, $1.1 million. The campaigns are trying to persuade voters in advance of the Nov. 3 people's veto referendum. Maine's gay marriage law was passed by lawmakers last spring.
