Advocacy Group Counts Big, Secret Money in Elections

Money from special interest groups are pouring into Wisconsin politics. At least that’s the case over the past five years, according to a new report from advocacy group, Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. The group tracks spending on elections and says at least a dozen groups have spent more than two million dollars on elections and influencing politicians since 2010. Top of the list, spending an estimated 27 million and change during that time is the Greater Wisconsin Committee, which supports democratic candidates.
