After a day back at work under the Gold Dome, Vandy Beth Glenn sits down to talk. She pulls her boots off her feet and tucks her legs under her, maneuvering her body into a comfortable position.

"It's been hard, really hard," she said of the past four years in her legal fight to get her job back as a legislative editor at the Georgial General Assembly.

While grateful to be back at work and happy with the ruling, Glenn acknowledges her historic victory did not come without a heavy cost.

Glenn said she spent her entire savings, a small inheritance she received when her grandfather died in 2007, the 401(k) she had from a previous job and has two mortgages on her house.

"This process has cost me a lot financially. I am not made whole by the court's decision even though I got my job back," she said.
