THE COMMISSION THAT’LL SET THE SALARY FOR SANTA FE’S MAYOR WHEN IT BECOMES A FULL TIME JOB IN 2018 WILL MAKE A FINAL DECISION NEXT WEEK. BUT SOME LOCAL RESIDENTS THINK THE PAY RANGE BEING DISCUSSED…145-THOUSAND TO 175-THOUSAND DOLLARS…IS WAY TOO HIGH. THAT’S MORE THAN ALBUQUERQUE’S MAYOR MAKES.
THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS SEVERAL PEOPLE SPOKE OUT AT A PUBLIC HEARING WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SAYING THE PROPOSED SALARY IS ABOUT TWICE WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WHEN A CHARTER AMENDMENT MAKING THE MAYOR’S JOB FULL TIME WAS APPROVED IN 2014.
