Donations to McInnis dropping

Gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis took in about half in campaign donations for the second half of July compared with the first, while his GOP rival saw a dramatic increase in the number of people contributing to his campaign.

That switch in donations corresponds with when allegations surfaced and McInnis later admitted that he had plagiarized material he wrote for a Pueblo foundation in 2004 and 2005, said Dan Maes, McInnis’ opponent in the Aug. 10 primary.

Maes’ donations overall, though, pale in comparison to McInnis’, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State’s Office on Monday. – More –
