Lawmakers Order Redistricting Legal Fees Paid

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Senate President David Williams and House Speaker Greg Stumbo have ordered payment of some $19,000 in legal fees incurred during this year's court battle over legislative redistricting which made its way to the Kentucky Supreme Court. The court ruled earlier this year that the newly drawn legislative districts were unconstitutional because their populations were out of balance. That means lawmakers have to tackle the contentious issue again in next year's legislative session.
