O’Hare set to give $250,000 in taxpayer funds to out-of-state anti-voting rights legal group
The fierce and expensive legal battle was predicted from the outset. Redistricting experts, journalists, and hundreds of citizens speaking in formal hearings warned that adopting the racist map would lead to bitter litigation that would cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.

The predictions are now playing out. O’Hare has put a request to pay $250,000 to the Public Information Legal Foundation (PILF) on the Tuesday, July 1st Commissioners Court agenda. The Virginia-based legal organization exists to undermine voting rights and fair access to the ballot. O'Hare's sweetheart deal with PILF not only pays them big fees but waives their obvious conflicts of interest created by their participation in drawing and forcing through the illegal map.
