A former senator's wife was paid $1million to write a book about the county where she lives - but has now been accused of plagiarizing entire passages from Wikipedia and local media. Jean McCorquodale is married to former State senator Dan McCorquodale, who also served as the supervisor of Santa Clara County in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2009, Jean was hired by the county as its grant writer. She was given a five-year contract worth $740,000.
