Taxpayer cost for Oregon’s class-action foster suit climbs over $34 million

The state of Oregon was ordered to pay more than $10.8 million in legal fees for the attorneys who sued the state on behalf of foster children by U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken on Friday.

That raises the taxpayer’s bill for the five-year case to above $34 million, in addition to other expenses and the $22.85 million the state spent on its own attorneys.
