From the Atlanta Journal Constitution Politics News:

Georgia Supreme Court Presiding Judge Nels S.D. Peterson recently told the state House and Senate budget committees that “retention has become a serious problem” in the state’s judicial system. “I can list anecdote after anecdote of judges who have left the bench because they can’t afford to serve anymore. In my court, the Supreme Court, in just the last three years, we have seen three of our justices in a position where they needed to leave to be able to afford college for their kids.” (Hyosub Shin/The Atlanta Journal Constitution/TNS)
