GOP activist Shires gets probation, fine

Scott Shires, a GOP activist and resident of Aurora, appeared in U.S. District Court earlier today and has been sentenced to a year's probation and fined $3,450, the Rocky Mountain News is reporting.

The case is drawing attention due to Shires' close connections with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. Shires, known as an activist for the Republican Party, has worked to get Republicans elected to the legislature for years and ran for the state house himself in 2000.
