Colorado Ethics Watch filed a complaint last month asserting that GOP candidate for governor and Colorado licensed attorney Scott McInnis violated professional ethics rules when he plagiarized articles for which he was paid $300,000. The Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel took up the investigation in July and gave McInnis 20 days to file a defense (pdf). The deadline came and went last Wednesday.

GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has said he knows “a little something” about Colorado water issues, which is partly why he says he won a $150,000 fellowship from the Hasan Foundation to write "a series of in-depth articles" on Colorado water. McInnis's campaign hasn't commented on the articles or released them and McInnis has said precious little to reporters about his stand on vital water issues in Colorado. But the issue isn't going away, particularly, perhaps, among Colorado Springs Republicans.
