Republican leaders of the Wisconsin Legislature are expected to appeal a decision by a Dane County Circuit Judge that was handed down Monday.
Judge Stephen Ehlke refused to put his April ruling on hold.
Ehlke determined that the lawmakers illegally hired private taxpayer-funded attorneys to represent them in a case.
The lawmakers wanted the judge to put his ruling on hold so their contracts with those attorneys wouldn’t automatically be voided.
Legislative leaders hired the attorneys for anticipated legal challenges over redistricting efforts.
