Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne has been ordered to pay over $120,000 in legal fees after his unsuccessful lawsuit against Governor Katie Hobbs, Attorney General Kris Mayes, and schools over the use of dual-language instruction. The legal fees will be covered by Arizona taxpayers. Additionally, losing GOP candidate Abe Hamadeh, along with his lawyers and political supporters, faces over $210,000 in sanctions after an Arizona court consolidated and dismissed their lawsuits, which a judge described as 'groundless and unjustified.'
