STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN NEW MEXICO COULD BE GETTING A BIG PAY RAISE. A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE HAS ENDORSED A PLAN TO INCREASE BY 10 PERCENT THE SALARY FOR THE GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL, SECRETARY OF STATE AND SEVERAL OTHER POSITIONS. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS THE PLAN WOULD ALSO INCLUDE MORE MODEST PAY HIKES FOR RANK AND FILE STATE WORKERS AND TEACHERS.
THE INCREASES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT IN JANUARY OF 2019.
