HE'LL TRY AGAIN. THAT'S THE WORD FROM NEW MEXICO SENATOR TOM UDALL AFTER HIS EFFORT TO INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE FALLS SHORT IN THE SENATE. HE SAYS IT'S AN IMPORTANT VOTE TO NEW MEXICANS. HE SAYS IT'S NOT LONGER AN ENTRY PAY ISSUE. HE SAYS MANY ADULTS ARE EARNING MINIMUM WAGE, INCLUDING WOMEN WHO ARE SUPPORTING THEIR FAMILIES.
THE BILL WOULD HAVE RAISED THE WAGE TO 10-DOLLARS-10 CENTS AN HOUR BY 2016. UDALL ALSO SAYS HE'LL WORK WITH REPUBLICANS TO FIND SOME FORM OF AN INCREASE THEY CAN SUPPORT.
