Former New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan has filed a complaint against the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition. In a letter to Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, Sullivan says that the group has broken seven election and tax laws, but Mike Biundo, chairman of NHAC, says the allegations are not true.

Sullivan alleges that the group has not filed as a political action committee, has not put disclosures on campaign materials and is violating their nonprofit status by promoting the candidacy of group members.

"It's time to clear the air on the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition -- who they are, where their money comes from, which powerful interests they are protecting, and why these candidates think they can abuse nonprofit laws to promote their campaigns," said Sullivan in a press release. "This group is caught in a tangled mess of election and tax laws in a desperate attempt to hide their powerful friends."

Biundo says the group is operating as a 501 c (4) and said they are "winning the battle of ideas."

"NHAC is a registered 501 c (4) and is operating as such. We have collected 8,000 signatures of Republicans, Democrats and Independents that want to keep their taxes down," Biundo said in an e-mail. "It is obvious that Kathy Sullivan and her tax and spend friends are concerned about NHAC's effort to curb spending and cut taxes. NHAC is a predominately volunteer organization whose sole purpose is to defend the New Hampshire Advantage and protect the New Hampshire taxpayers. We are winning the battle of ideas and that obviously has them concerned."
