The two out-of-state experts who will likely redraw Wisconsin’s political maps could very easily cost the state six-figures each.
The state supreme court has okayed a contract to pay the two experts up to 100-thousand dollars a piece, but that number can go higher. The contract says the court can spend more if need be. The experts are being brought in to redraw the political maps for the Wisconsin Legislature after the Supreme Court tossed them out just before Christmas. The court said those maps were too favorable for Republicans.
