Another Kenosha businessman pleaded guilty Friday to violating campaign finance laws, in a conspiracy involving businessman Dennis Troha.

According to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice, Achille “Kelly” Infusino tried to hide the fact corporate funds were being used for political contributions.

The DOJ release said he also accepted $7,500 in car lease payments in exchange for donating to several campaigns.

Infusino faces up to a year in prison and a fine of $100,000.

Infusino, Troha and businessman John Erickson all plead guilty to trying to use campaign donations to politicians to receive preferential treatment for their trucking business.

Troha and the others contributed to both Democratic and Republican candidates, including President George W. Bush and Gov. Jim Doyle.

The FBI is still investigating the alleged conspiracy the men were apart of, the DOJ release said.

Jay Heck, executive director for the campaign finance reform group Common Cause in Wisconsin, said the case shows why reform is needed.

Senate Bill 12, a bipartisan campaign finance reform bill currently in the legislature, would help to stop circumstances that lead to illegal donations, Heck said.

The bill is set for a public hearing on Feb. 12 and Heck said he was optimistic about its chances in the full state Senate.

Doyle called a special session of the state Legislature to address campaign finance reform in late November. SB 12 is identical to a portion of the reform package Doyle proposed.
