WISCONSIN DEMOCRACY CAMPAIGN E-LERTIn this update:
1. AT&T donations flow as legislators eye cable deregulation
2. Judicial Commission approves Ziegler investigation
3. U.S. Supreme Court to hear arguments in campaign reform case
As state lawmakers work on legislation that AT&T dearly wants, the telecommunications giant is doing what the lawmakers dearly want - donating heavily to their campaigns.
As expected, the state Judicial Commission decided last Friday to proceed with an investigation of newly elected state Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler over conflict of interest issues the Democracy Campaign raised in mid-March.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday in the case involving Wisconsin Right to Life's legal challenge of the federal McCain-Feingold campaign reform law. For more on what to expect, see our latest Big Money Blog.
