The redistricting experts brought-in by the Wisconsin Supreme Court are getting a six figure payday for not drawing the state’s new political maps.
The experts submitted their 128 thousand-dollar bill on Sunday. About half of that will come from taxpayers, the other half will come from the people and groups involved in the state’s redistricting battle. The experts ruled that none of the seven proposals to replace Wisconsin’s old political maps were good enough. The experts offered to draw their own maps, but lawmakers cut that process short by approving Governor Evers’ maps. He signed those maps last week.
