Both sides file appeals over fee award in DC gun case [View all]

The District of Columbia and a man who sued the city over its gun laws are both appealing a judge's award of attorneys' fees in the historic case.

A judge ordered the city in December to pay more than $1 million to attorneys for Dick Heller, who sued the city in 2003 over its ban on handgun ownership.

Heller's attorneys had argued they should be paid $3.1 million for their work.

How much longer will the citizens of DC and Chicago continue to pay for the actions of their elected leaders?

But I suppose when it ain't your money, the checks are easier to write.
