Over the weekend, the Hasan Family Foundation posted a series of articles on its website called “Musings on Water” authored by GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis.

LOVELAND-- Both major Republican candidates for governor will be on the August primary ballot. Dan Maes edged out Scott McInnis 1741-1725, taking 49.35 percent of the vote. “Wow,” Maes said after hearing the vote announced. “This is about you. This is about the people standing up and making their voices heard, telling us what is important, telling us what you want from government and not the other way around. We are just getting warmed up,” he told the few hundred people who stayed to the end of the assembly at the Budweiser Event Center here.
