DescriptionState Sen. Chip Rogers, until recently one the state Legislature’s most visible leaders, will step down from office Wednesday after accepting a new “dream” job with Georgia Public Broadcasting that he said will also allow him to spend more time with his family.

The decision came only weeks after Rogers decided not to seek re-election as the Senate’s majority leader, one of the most powerful positions in the chamber. He held the title for four years, including a tumultuous break with Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle for control of the Senate chamber.

The move also came after a series of missteps, including a failed bank loan and public disclosure of Rogers’ work for a sports gambling network.
