Court panel’s ruling gives judges 5% raise

Nearly 200 judges in New Mexico will receive a 5 percent pay raise because a makeshift state Supreme Court panel on Wednesday unanimously struck down a veto by Gov. Susana Martinez.

The state Legislature earlier this year approved two budget provisions designed to give judges an 8 percent pay increase starting in July. Martinez vetoed one section of the bill that specified a 3 percent pay increase, but she let stand a broader provision containing money to fund the remainder of the raises.
