A former Kentucky county official who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, a federal judge has ruled.
That judgment against Kim Davis is in addition to a total of $100,000 in damages a jury said she should pay the couple who won a lawsuit against her.
Attorneys for Davis had argued that the fee request by the couple’s lawyers was excessive, but U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning said he disagreed.
Bunning called one claim by Davis’ lawyers exaggerated and said another “belies logic.”
