Posted by George, a resident of the Rex Manor neighborhood, on Dec 28, 2011 at 9:25 pm She brings an ethnic and gender addition to the bench. She is a bright and qualified lady.
Pay? The average practicing attorney with her experience would be bringing in around 250 - 300 k per year... It is a sacrifice to serve at the given salary.
Does "Stay in School and Learn if you really wanna Earn" ring a bell you burger flipper ?

Posted by Steven Nelson, a resident of the Cuesta Park neighborhood, on Jan 4, 2012 at 10:27 pm Let me see - I think I read recently (The Economist?) that over the last 5 or 6 years the average compensation for a doctor has increased $100,000 per year. I'd agree with George, but without the sarcasm.
