Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker settled a lawsuit seeking e-mails sent to the governor on the “budget repair bill” that the governor said overwhelming supported the bill.
The governor agreed to pay the attorney fees for the plaintiffs, Isthmus newspaper and the Wisconsin Associated Press, and to produce the e-mails on March 22. The plaintiffs agreed not to publish names when there was good reason to withhold them, to protect vulnerable individuals, and to respect person and confidential information. -db
