What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A resolution was passed by the New Mexico Legislature to place Constitutional Amendment 4 on the ballot. This amendment would allow New Mexico legislators to receive a salary equivalent to median state household income, which is approximately $68,000 based on recent census data. New Mexico currently operates the only unsalaried Legislature in the country.
