AUGUSTA, Maine — Staff at Maine’s ethics watchdog agency recommended Tuesday that Assistant Maine Senate Majority Leader Andre Cushing and his political committee should be fined at least $11,000 after a 10-month investigation into the Republican’s political operation.

The probe was motivated by Cushing’s sister, Laura Cushing McIntyre of Hermon, after she filed an October civil lawsuit against him alleging misuse of more than $1 million in family funds. Her complaint to the Maine Ethics Commission said some of that was used for political purposes.
