One-time Republican frontrunner for governor Scott McInnis told the Colorado Independent he paid taxes on the entire $300,000 he was paid by Hasan Family Foundation to produce a handful of articles that, as has been widely reported, McInnis didn't write but mostly lifted from papers written years ago by Gregory Hobbs, now a Colorado Supreme Court Justice.
But the money wasn't all paid directly to McInnis. According to Foundation tax returns, McInnis received the $300,000 in three installments, including one in 2006 for $112,500, which went to Invest 2 LLC, a now defunct limited liability corporation that listed McInnis’s wife Lori as its registered agent.
