Fiscal conservatives [Sic] on a legal billing bender, with our money:
Under the deal filed in court Monday, the state will drop its appeal
and pay $185,500 to immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera, which
sued the state over the maps. The group prevailed in March before a
panel of three federal judges in its arguments that newly drawn
boundaries for Assembly Districts 8 and 9 on Milwaukee's south side
violated the federal Voting Rights Act.
The payment will bring taxpayer costs for the maps to over $1.5 million, and that number could yet climb.
