MADISON – The Democratic Party of Wisconsin on Thursday asked the Milwaukee County District Attorney to probe the campaign finance report of Jeff Stone, filed a day late, that inflates contributions by at least $35,000, double-counts contributors, fails to properly list on-line contributions and omits required information of hundreds of donors.

This isn’t the first time Stone has run afoul of campaign finance laws. Following a failed bid for Assembly, Stone was fined in 1998 for campaign finance violations by the state ethics board.
“Republican Jeff Stone’s finance report is recklessly sloppy and purposely misleading, an attempt to hide bad practices at the same time creating a false sense of momentum,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate said Thursday. “He filed his report a day late, in violation of the law. Now it is clear that the report itself represents a violation of the state’s campaign finance requirements.”
