GLOUCESTER—Gloucester taxpayers could face another $42,000 in legal fees of four supervisors whom residents tried unsuccessfully to oust last year.

Attorneys for the supervisors filed a request for the additional fees last week. The request brings the total cost of the supervisors’ defense to more than $171,000. The attorneys said said they incurred $42,146 since December, when Judge Westbrook Parker ordered the county and 40 of its residents to reimburse $129,000 in legal bills the supervisors incurred to fight the removal effort.

According to the documents filed in Gloucester County Circuit Court, the firm Troutman Sanders, which is representing two of the supervisors, reduced its bill by 20 percent in recognition of the significant costs already incurred by its clients and county residents.
