(AP) — New Orleans' daily newspaper says organizers of a petition drive to recall Mayor LaToya Cantrell are demanding $15,000 in fees to comply with a court agreement to provide copies of the signed petitions.
The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate said an attorney for Nolatoya.org told the news organization Wednesday that it must pay $1 per page.
Nolatoya.org began a petition drive in August seeking to recall Cantrell.
It had refused to release the signatures during the drive, and the newspaper had sued to get the copies.
Under a Feb. 8 agreement, the organizers promised to provide copies once the petitions were turned in to the registrar of voters.
The agreement does not mention a fee.
