The Wisconsin State Legislature has contracted with a Chicago law firm to defend the legislative districts that the GOP drew back in 2011. But for some reason Assembly Speaker Robin Vos won’t release the details of the contract to the press: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos won’t make public a legal…

Ok…this seems like a pretty trivial issue but it has been getting a ton of press in Wisconsin. And maybe it’s a subterfuge to the heinous acts under consideration by the GOP for their December 2018 lame duck session in Madison…but let’s take a peek! For those of you who…
