The state's "campaign spending commission" met today to decide how to handle a complaint against gubernatorial candidate Vicky Cayetano's campaign.

HONOLULU (KITV-4) The state's campaign spending commission met on Wednesday to consider a complaint filed against Vicky Cayetano’s campaign. There is a limit on how much a person can donate to a candidate.

But super PACS - or political action committees - are free to spend as much as they want on third party ads in support or against certain people running for office. The complaint alleges there was coordination with attack ads focused on Josh Green, who is running for governor.
