11A A complaint has been filed with the state Ethics Commission claiming more than $1.5 million in contributions from the National Education Association to a committee supporting the passage of State Question 744 is illegal and should be returned. A spokesman for the group, Yes on 744, said the teachers group money is legal because it did not come from a political action committee. Yes on 744 intends to keep the money, he said. The Ethics Commission, which called a special meeting Friday to clarify whether ballot measure committees may accept money from political action committees, took no action. Voters will decide the measure Nov. 2.
