Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate in Wisconsin Plagiarized Jobs Plan from Other Failed Democrats
Breitbrat ^ | 9/20/14 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 09/20/2014 3:46:37 PM PDT by blueyon

In March of this year Mary Burke, the Democratic candidate challenging incumbent Republican Scott Walker in this fall's Wisconsin gubernatorial election, approved the release of a jobs plan that, it now turns out, contains numerous passages plagiarized from the jobs plans of several recent Democratic gubernatorial candidates in other states and at least one passage plagiarized from an Obama White House press release.

After BuzzFeed broke the story on Thursday, the Burke campaign announced Friday that it had "terminated" the consultant who had prepared the 40-page jobs plan. Prior to this announcement, the consultant, Eric Schnurer of the Philadelphia firm Public Works, had not been listed as someone associated with the campaign, nor had he received attribution for his work creating the plan.

Burke did not offer an explanation for why her campaign had failed to discover the massive plagiarism............

She has been running 100% negative ads and lying her lying mouth off.

Also, she is dropping in the polls but Walker needs to get more front and center.

I think someone should take an idea from Scott Walker’s plan and say “Mary, page 27 of your plan says this.......” and see what she says. I doubt she’s read any of it.

Bingo! Great advice. Always call them on it, flip it back in their face and see their reaction.

You’re probably right, she and many others like her want the job but not the work.

mary burke is a genuine loser.

she has three years of her adult life she cannot account for. she got paid a lot of money but didn,t file taxes those years. every explanation has fallen under scrutiny to now where she can’t recall what or exactly where she was during those years.

sad thing is she’ll get at least 40-45% of the vote b/c she’s democrat.

Is it wrong morally to steal a crappy plan? It may not be the norm, but if your student plagerized a D- paper....would you even call him on it?

Oh well, we are in big trouble when we have to depend on job plans from politicians.
