Auditor: $300 payments for legislative staff unconstitutional

Brian Colon SANTA FE – State Auditor Brian Colón has warned the Legislature that a plan to issue $300 payments to legislative staffers who worked in the Capitol this year is unconstitutional. In an interview, Colón said his office alerted the legislative branch of government that the state Constitution prohibits giving extra compensation to a public servant after services are rendered. “I’ve got to hold everybody accountable when it comes to the law,” Colón said. ...................... His objection focuses on legislation passed in this year’s 60-day session – Senate Bill 439, which calls for a one-time $300 “compensation adjustment” for staffers working in the Capitol during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
