MADISON, Wis. -- How much restitution should former state Sen. Chuck Chvala pay for having state workers campaign on state time?Prosecutors said just more than $2,000.But Chvala's attorney has filed a formal objection, saying there's no basis for the amount.Prosecutors told the judge $2,044 in restitution is based on estimates that Senate aides spent only a part of their work hours working on the campaigns in 2000. Three other former lawmakers convicted as a result of the capitol corruption scandal face restitution between $3,500 and $300,000.
