Legal Fees For Mosque Suit Could Top $50,000

Posted:

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The heated lawsuit over the Murfreesboro mosque is costing taxpayers thousands.

Rutherford County leaders said the mosque lawsuit forced them to add $50,000 to the county attorney's budget to cover the added expenses.

More money could be needed because the lawsuit over the proposed Islamic Center is still ongoing.

Even before court proceedings started, the county racked up about $2,000 in legal bills from attorneys who worked researching the Islamic Center.
