Embattled Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis — whose plagiarism scandal threatened to derail the GOP’s hopes of reclaiming the governor’s mansion and precipitated Tom Tancredo’s third-party entry into the race — has settled with the foundation that paid him $300,000 to produce a series of “Musings on Water”:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has signed a legally binding document to repay $300,000 to the Hasan Family Foundation, although the campaign refused to disclose when the money will be paid and whether it will be paid in installments. [emphasis added]
“All the matters are fully resolved,” said McInnis spokesman Sean Duffy, adding that neither party will release any further details.
Seeme Hasan, chair of the foundation, could not be immediately reached.

Aliya Hasan, Seeme’s daughter, told reporters the family would issue a statement at a later time.
