Burke ought to be held accountable since she failed to properly vet her campaign materials.<br /><br />That is why undoubtedly you would agree this egregious behavior ought to called out, regardless of the time and place.<br /><br />Burke’s plagiarism is eerily similar to Governor Walker, who in 2011 had issued a press release, without DIRECTLY attributing credit to the administration actually responsible for a “...project directly creates 125 new jobs and indirectly creates 129 jobs, resulting in $12.6 million in annual wages right here in Wisconsin” for Curt Manufacturing. <br /><br />As you stated, professor, borrowing an idea from others and passing it your own lacks integrity, considering this development had been already announced in 2010 by the previous administration.<br /><br />The kicker?
