A state workers group has reimbursed Richard Moore's office.
The State Employees Association of North Carolina paid the state treasurer's office $6,000 in legal fees over a public records dispute that led to a lawsuit.
During the lawsuit, SEANC tried to set up a deposition of Moore shortly before one of his debates in the gubernatorial primary. A Superior Court judge denied the motion, giving Moore the right to reimbursement of legal fees related to it.
"It is unfortunate that this unnecessary lawsuit has cost SEANC members, who are hardworking state employees, so much money and energy," said Moore spokeswoman Sara Lang.
Another Superior Court judge dismissed the case in July, but SEANC has appealed it to the N.C. Court of Appeals. General Counsel Tom Harris was asked how far the group would appeal the case.
"As far as we have to," he replied.
