Side Question On Those 82 Lame Duck Appointments?

Robin Vos Doesn’t Understand How Bipartisan Works!

Robin Vos, $850,000, You and Me!
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…
