CAUCUS SCANDAL TO COST TAXPAYERS
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006 -- 10:09 AM
The Wisconsin Caucus Scandal upset many in the state.The proven corruption of state legislators from both sides of the aisle turned many stomachs, but a lesser publicized result of the actions of lawmakers like Chuck Chvala and Scott Jensen is the cost to taxpayers.
A report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says those convicted will be asked to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution, but taxpayers apparently will be stuck with most of the almost $726,000 spent so far on defense attorneys.
