As reported on March 11, 2011 under the headline “Administrative Office budget is slashed by $1 million,” the House of Representatives’ budget for FY2012 cut the Judicial Council of Georgia a little over $1 million to counteract what appeared to be the hiring of additional employees during a statewide hiring freeze. At the time I declined to comment on agency hires, as we were trying to understand how the state’s software system was reporting our organizational changes. Now I would like to respond by summarizing the additional information we have provided to the General Assembly.
Since I was hired as the director of the Administrative Office of the Courts 17 months ago, the agency’s budget has been reduced 20 percent. We have reorganized. The number of positions has decreased by 30 percent, from 88 to 62 state paid employees. These 62 employees provide fiscal, research, technology, legal and policy support services to all levels of courts. AOC employees produce real value that directly impacts the work of our courts and the lives of our citizens.
