Students gave $100,000 to state campaigns

A nonpartisan watchdog group recently showed students have contributed almost $100,000 to political campaigns from 2002 to June 2007 in the state, with some of the larger donations raising ethical concerns. 

 

The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign found students made $86,243 in contributions during the period. This is an atypical amount of money, according to Mike McCabe, director of the WDC.  

 

I don't think most students could make a $5,000 political contribution, or a $1,000 or $500
