Do you remember Kim Davis from 2015? Her misdeeds are catching up
with her.
"LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) ? Former county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to
issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a
total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge's ruling.
That's in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan
County clerk should pay the couple who sued.
Attorneys for Davis had argued that the fees and costs sought by the attorneys were excessive, but U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning
disagreed and said Davis must pay since the men prevailed in their
lawsuit, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Attorneys for Davis were expected to appeal the ruling.
Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015
over her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should
only be between a man and a woman."
