New Mexico governor supports $15 minimum wage for school workers
Fox News
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham backed a $15 minimum wage for all school workers.
A budget proposal from Lujan Grisham to the Legislature earlier this month had called for a $15 minimum wage for state workers, but not for school workers.
In a call with reporters on Jan. 7 touting a proposal to raise licensed teacher salaries by as much as 22%, Lujan Grisham said that school districts already had the capability to fund $15-per-hour salaries saying: "It is within the reach of the school districts. And frankly, they just need to do it."
