Good

This guy deserves it.

"Calling Scott Jensen's actions 'common thievery elevated to a higher plane,' a judge sentenced the former Assembly speaker Tuesday to 15 months in prison for his role in directing aides to do campaign work on state time.


Jensen, 45, was also fined 2,000, ordered to serve 45 months of probation after his prison sentence and banned from the Capitol while on probation.

The Capitol ban was sought by prosecutors because another convicted legislator, former Assembly Majority Leader Steve Foti (R-Oconomowoc), works as a lobbyist while serving a work-release sentence in the Waukesha County Huber Jail. Foti is serving a 60-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to one misdemeanor count of ordering on-the-job campaigning by an aide.

Dane County Circuit Judge Steven Ebert said he was outraged by Jensen's use of Assembly aides to subsidize the campaigns of GOP Assembly candidates, calling it a 'secretive but highly organized theft' that put all Assembly Republican legislators in his debt."

These guys - Jensen-Chvala- all of them - are nothing but common thieves. But Jensen whining about his punishment takes the cake. In the type of society he and his ilk advocate, he would have one or both hands cut off. What an asshole.
