(Boston GlobeMeanwhile, a complaint filed by the liberal End Citizens United, with the Office of Congressional Ethics, is one of at least three lodged against Santos. It alleges that nearly 40 payments of $199.99 listed as Santos campaign expenditures constitute an attempt to evade federal laws requiring receipts for campaign purchases over $200.
