Norm Coleman owes Al Franken $94,783.15 for court costs. That was the determination of the Ramsey County Court Administrator today. The three-judge panel that heard the U.S. Senate election contest ruled that because Coleman lost he is responsible for covering his opponent’s court costs.

The judgment amount will continue to collect interest until it is paid off. “Costs and interest will accrue on any money judgment amounts from the date of judgment until the judgment is satisfied in full,” the ruling notes.

There’s been no hint of when the Minnesota Supreme Court might rule on Coleman’s appeal. However, John Kostouros, director of communications for the state court system, did state today that the opinion will be issued between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
