Even more annoying is the flippant “justification” given by Chip Quaglino: “Sue me for not being overly creative or having time to sit down and do this.” He’s PAID to do just that–sit his ass down and take the time to be, if not creative, not so derivative you’re getting paid for next to nothing.

It’s worse than plagiarism–it’s laziness and pseudofraud from someone who got paid to do better by someone who wants to be on the City Council. Ugh.

has this been sent to either Kevin Kim or Brad Lander yet? I know I would want to know if someone was copying my work. What a sleeze!

It’s impossible to tell who he used, because it does not appear he has filed ANY campaign finance reports for this election.

I searched every way I could there. I found him through the “scanned reports,” but the latest stuff he filed was at the beginning of 2009. It looks like he’s likely in violation.

Good work. Any chance they all used the same political consultant, who supplied them with boilerplate language?

You should check out the polling locations on his page, you don’t actually think he did all that work did you of typing in each location and mapping it on google? It’s from his opponent, Kristin Palmer’s website.

Good old fashioned investigative reporting. Congratulations.

Great catch. You’re right; much of the Arnold and Lander campaign websites track, page after page.

I did the same thing in middle school with my Alexander Hamilton report.
