The Record newspaper reports Washington, D.C.-based law firm Patton Boggs submitted a 30-page invoice for legal fees and expenses incurred between Dec. 1 and Dec. 30. The bill includes hundreds of hours of work by eight lawyers and even $4.58 for postage.
Attorney General's Office spokesman Paul Wyckoff told the newspaper hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake and it's worth "the best legal effort we can produce."
Transportation Committee chairman Assemblyman John Wisniewski called the bill "outrageous."
Gov. Chris Christie is fighting the Federal Transit Administration's demand for repayment of $271 million.
