House Democrats in New Mexico are expressing concern about the rising cost of living, and the impact it is having on residents’ paychecks. They believe that the uncertainty surrounding the national economy is making things even more difficult for New Mexicans. Democratic leaders are proposing various measures to address these issues, such as studying grocery supply chain problems, banning pricing strategies that gouge consumers, and prohibiting landlords from using artificial intelligence to determine rent prices.
Additionally, they are advocating for an increase in the minimum wage for school workers and laborers, hospital price transparency, and expanding working family tax credits. On the other hand, Republican lawmakers are suggesting different approaches, such as eliminating income tax and not taxing social security and retirement income.
House Democratic leaders are open to taking significant action to counteract economic decisions made in Washington and hope to have bipartisan conversations on the matter. Speaker of the House Javier Martinez emphasized the importance of the Legislature coming together to address these pressing issues.
