(CHRISTIAN POST) – Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis must pay $260,000 in attorneys’ fees and other expenses for her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2015.
United States District Judge David L. Bunning of the Eastern District of Kentucky issued a memorandum opinion and order last week awarding plaintiffs $246,026.40 in attorneys’ fees and an additional $14,058.30 in other expenses.
“The Court is mindful that in this case, Plaintiffs not only prevailed, but obtained the result sought. They sought to vindicate their fundamental right to marry and obtain marriage licenses; and they did so,” wrote Bunning.
