CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - Curry County lawmakers make less money than commissioners in at least two similar-size New Mexico counties. But they make far more than commissioners in Roosevelt County and the city of Clovis.
The Clovis News Journal (http://bit.ly/wc4R8j ) reports Curry County Commissioners enjoy the same health and retirement packages as every city and county official under plans provided by the state.
Curry commissioners are paid about $2,800 less a year than commissioners in Eddy and Chaves counties. They make $4,000 more each year than commissioners in Roosevelt County and more than twice the amount paid city commissioners in Clovis.
Benefits for Curry commissioners include the county paying for 75 percent of medical and life insurance.
