(The Center Square) - The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear a lawsuit seeking to overturn Act 10 in the state, a move that is estimated to cost taxpayers $2 billion annually if it is fully enacted.
The order did not give reasoning for the Supreme Court’s decision. Dane County Judge Jacob Frost previously ruled to overturn the law in late 2024 before that ruling was reversed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.
