Matt Mahan’s floundering campaign for California governor has been hit with a new bombshell complaint accusing the San Jose mayor of illegally coordinating with a billionaire-funded PAC — and the allegations could warrant penalties up to $5 million. The Post exclusively obtained the complaint, which accuses Mahan and an independent expenditure committee called Back to Basics of violating state election law on coordination by using same polling company, Impact Research, and each paying the firm $89,500. Allegations made to the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission note that similar sharing of “key strategists” has resulted in major fines in the past, and Mahan’s indiscretions could trigger penalties in the millions.
