MADISON, Wis. -- Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence the former state Senate majority leader to six months in jail, saying that Chuck Chvala is unremorseful for his illegal activities.

A sentencing memo from Assistant District Attorney Kurt Benkley to a Dane County judge said that Chvala was "like a Mafia don," insulating himself by directing his criminal activities through his chief of staff.

Benkley said that prosecutors want to put more than $448,000 that Chvala raised illegally into Wisconsin's school fund.

In October, Chvala pleaded guilty to two felonies for having an employee campaign on state time and for illegally funneling cash to a fellow Democrat's election fund.

Seventeen other charges were dropped in exchange for the guilty pleas.
