John Doe legal fees approach $900K

MADISON - Taxpayers have paid nearly $900,000 in legal fees related to the John Doe investigation of coordinated efforts between the campaign of Gov. Scott Walker and his supporters.

Current caps negotiated with the private law firms, which have been increased as costs rise, allow the state to spend up to about $1.1 million.

The investigation is looking into coordinated campaign activity between the governor's campaign and outside groups, which is banned by state law.
