IT'S NEARLY A MONTH LATE, BUT BERNALILLO COUNTY'S MINIMUM WAGE IS GOING UP MONDAY, JANUARY 26TH. THE WAGE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GONE UP 15 CENTS JANUARY 1ST TO 8-65 AN HOUR. BUT IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH BECAUSE THE COUNTY COMMISSION FIRST DIDN'T APPROVE THE WAGE … THEN DIDN'T PUBLISH IT AS REQUIRED BY COUNTY ORDINANCE BY OCTOBER 15TH.
THE COMMISSION MET EARLY THIS MONTH TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TO LET THE WAGE GO UP THIS JANUARY AS OPPOSED TO NEXT JANUARY.
