Wisconsin lawmakers raised record cash in 2007
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A new report says state lawmakers raised $3.8 million in 2007.
That's a record for a non-election year. The old mark was $3.35 million, set in 2005.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign study also finds lawmakers held at least 103 fundraisers while they were debating the state budget last year. Some critics contend donations during budget deliberations taint the spending plan.
The study says legislators had nearly $5 million in the bank going into 2008.
