Michele Fry, one of six candidates running in the 5th district to replace retiring Councilwoman Marcia Johnson, was accused of plagiarism. Apparently part of a questionnaire she provided was taken directly from another source, without credit. In these small races where little is known about a candidate, a news story in Denver’s largest paper is not necessarily a good thing…especially if that’s really all voters know about a particular candidate.
Fry responded to the accusation on her website:
I take these charges seriously and admitted to the Post that, while doing research, I had not cited source materials properly.

To be frank, it doesn’t sound like she forgot to put in a citation for a fact, which any graduate student might occasionally do (She states she is a graduate student at Regis — I’m sure they are glad to have the mention). Based on the story, it sounds like she lifted entire paragraphs to fill out the questions and figured no one would notice.
Poll follows.
