The justices, who have the power to override Moore's administrative decisions, took the step after a federal judge threatened to fine the state $5,000 per day ... The governor, who is grappling with a budget deficit, said the fines could have added up to $1 billion within four months.

Huh? Wait a minute ...

5000 x 31 = 155,000
155,000 x 4 = 620,000

How do you get from 620,000 to $1 billion?

The $5000 per day fine, doubles every week I believe. Thus the first week costs $35000, the 2nd week costs $70000, the 3rd week costs $140000, etc.
