PHOENIX — A judge has ordered two Cochise County supervisors to pay more than $34,000 in legal fees in their losing bid to keep from certifying the results of the 2022 general election.
But whether Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby have to pay it out of their own pockets or can get county taxpayers to pick up the tab remains unclear.
In a new order, Pima County Superior Court Judge Casey McGinley said it was necessary for then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Alliance of Retired Americans to go to court to force the board to perform its duties after Judd and Crosby refused.
