Mineau says there will need to be tens of thousands of fraud allegations before he will admit there is a problem and now is raising his own allegations that there may have been professional "plants" who intentionally signed the petition so they could challenge later.

Now it has finally happened. Petition spokesperson Kris Mineau, who has been claiming for months that fraud charges are nothing more than lies fabricated by HO - MO - sexual activists, now has changed his tune! Mineau admits in today's Eagle-Tribune that "there may have been rare cases of fraudulent signature gathering."
Wow, good for Kris! A half-truth is better than a bold faced lie for sure. Imagine. Only four days ago, Mineau, who sat and faced ten alleged fraud victims at the October State House hearing (not to mention an Arno whistle-blower who described in detail how she had frauded hundreds of citizens and witnessed petition forgery) was telling the Sentinel & Enterprise that "he had not heard of any collectors misleading citizens." Now this! I can only wonder what will come tomorrow?
