Taxpayers are going to have to pick-up the legal bill for the liberal group that sued over the Gabelman investigation.
An appeals court on Friday upheld a Dane County judge’s order that the state pay the legal costs for American Oversight. That’s the group that sued former judge Michael Gableman over public information involved in his investigation into the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin. Gableman lost the case, and in addition to providing his documents, the judge said he had to pay American Oversight’s legal costs. The total legal bill is just over 240 thousand-dollars. But that is on top of the nearly one million-dollars that Gableman’s investigation cost in all.
That investigation, ultimately, didn’t provide any new answers about the 2020 election.
