Received this e-mail today from Mike Michaud's (D. ME) gubernatorial campaign:
In school, if we got caught copying someone else's work, we got an "F" and faced expulsion. But under Governor LePage's administration, you're rewarded with a nearly $1 million contract.
That's right, we just got word that significant portions of the widely criticized "Alexander report" -- a partisan political document created by an out-of state consultant to justify Governor LePage’s continued refusal to expand healthcare to 70,000 uninsured Mainers -- were plagiarized, word for word.
Not only did Governor LePage commission a partisan report to boost his re-election bid, he also wasted close to $1 million of Mainers hard-earned tax dollars. Now that's what we call a failing grade -- and we need your help in getting Mainer's money back.
Will you sign our petition calling on the Alexander Group to return the $925,000 back to Maine taxpayers?

The deeply flawed Alexander report is a prime example of government waste and demonstrates how poorly Governor LePage has managed Maine's finances over the last three and a half years.
When Mainers are choosing between heating oil and their prescription drugs, Governor LePage is handing out $1 million in taxpayer funds for a flawed report we now know was partially plagiarized.
This is simply unacceptable, and we believe Mainers should get their money back.
Sign our petition urging the Alexander Group to return $925,000 back to the State of Maine.

With your help, we'll hold Governor LePage and the Alexander Group accountable.
Thanks for all your help.
