Settlement in Latino voting case will set Modesto back $3 million – California From: modbee.com

Tagged: , , ,

“Modesto is paying $3 million to settle a voting rights lawsuit the city fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, one of the attorneys who won the case said Thursday.

Modesto will pay over three installments. It had set aside at least $500,000 because it anticipated owing the attorneys’ fees.

The money is going to pay the fees of the three law firms that argued the case on behalf of three Latino residents who claimed Modesto’s at-large City Council elections disenfranchised minority voters.”*
