Madison - Former state Assembly Majority Leader Steve Foti has agreed to plead guilty to one misdemeanor ethics violation and be a possible witness against Rep. Scott Jensen (R-Town of Brookfield), a longtime friend.

Sources knowledgeable about the deal said Thursday that prosecutors would drop a felony corruption charge, and Foti, an Oconomowoc Republican, would serve 30 days in jail, followed by two years of probation.

The sources agreed to discuss Foti's plea agreement only if they remained anonymous.

Jensen, a former Assembly speaker, is scheduled to go on trial Feb. 21 on three felony charges and one misdemeanor accusing him of having aides campaign on state time.......
