ift.tt/ZROhI0 Mary Burke had her own policies plagiarized. Susan Wismer For South Dakota / Via Facebook: SusanForSD Democratic gubernatorial South Dakota nominee appears to have plagiarized parts of her issues page from Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, who herself is embattled in a plagiarism snafu of her own. Oddly, Susan Wismer actually copies from a biographical section of Burkes campaign material, placing her name where Burkes appeared. A spokesperson for the Wismer campaign told Buzzfeed News, We will be making any changes necessary and similarities will be taken care of. Her issues pages were taken down shortly after BuzzFeed News inquired, but the screenshots are at the bottom this post. Heres Mary Burke on fiscal responsibility, citing her own biography: She knows how to make responsible decisions that keep a balance sheet in the black while creating jobs because shes spent her career doing it. Scott Walker has taken a different approach. Despite making historic cuts to education, hes turned a projected budget surplus into a deficit, and state spending has shot up by $4.6 billion. And heres Wismer substituting her name for Burkes: As an accountant, Susan knows how to make responsible decisions that keep a balance sheet in the black while creating jobs because shes spent her career doing it. This governor has taken a different approach. After making historic cuts, he took a $127 million dollar budget surplus and padded his reserves rather than giving back what was cut to areas desperate for funding. Heres Mary Burke on education: Mary believes Wisconsin schools should be among the best in the nation—and she knows that making historic cuts isnt the way to do it. Shell work every day to strengthen our public education system, from K-12 to our technical colleges and university system. And heres Wismer: Susan believes South Dakota schools should be among the best in the nation and making historic cuts isnt the way to do it. Susan will work every day to strengthen our public education system– from K-12 to our technical colleges and university system. Heres Wendy Davis on education: Wendy Davis will build a well-trained workforce of teachers by engineering guaranteed pathways to careers in education and ensure ongoing support by raising teacher pay to be in line with the rest of the country. And heres Wismer: Susan will build a well-trained workforce of educators and ensure ongoing support for them by raising salaries to be on par with the rest of the country. Heres Wendy Davis on economic investment: When responsibly invested, economic development funds can help bring new businesses and jobs into the state, promote innovation, and encourage technological advancements. But under the wrong leadership and without accountability, too often they become giveaways to special interests and insiders that drain valuable resources from essential investments like our schools and increase taxes on working Texas families. And heres Wismer: Susan knows that the best businesses for communities are usually local businesses. When responsibly invested, economic development funds can help create new businesses and jobs, promote innovation, and encourage technological advancements. However, under the wrong leadership and without accountability, too often they become giveaways to special interests, corporations, and insiders that drain valuable resources from essential investments.

She will establish strong, independent oversight of our incentive funds. Susan will ensure transparency and accountability of tax exemptions. Heres Mary Burke on Medicare expansion: The Walker administration has taken a different approach. Rejecting hundreds of millions of our own federal tax dollars means our money goes to cover health care in other states, and leaves us paying more as a state to cover fewer hard working Wisconsinites. Its an example of what happens when you put politics ahead of progress. And its just wrong. And heres Wismer: The Daugaard administration has rejected hundreds of millions of our own federal tax dollars, money that is covering healthcare in other states, and leaves us paying more to cover fewer hard-working South Dakotans. Its an example of what happens when you put politics ahead of progress. Heres Burke again: Mary will overturn the current administrations refusal to accept the federal expansion of Medicaid, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars of our taxpayer money back home to our state, where it belongs. And heres Wismer: Susan will overturn the current administrations refusal to accept the federal expansion of Medicaid, bringing over $272 million of our taxpayer money back to South Dakota, while providing 48,000 South Dakotans with access to affordable, preventative health care.
