$700,000 | That’s how much the state of Wisconsin paid two Republican law firms — including the firm where RNC Chair Reince Priebus is a partner — for legal work just this year.

Scott Walker’s (R) anti-collective bargaining bill that was struck down by a lower court before being reinstated 4-3 in a party-line vote by the state Supreme Court.
