That's just the ticket NM Dims, keep the violent juvenile offenders out of jail and pay them $2,000 per month of taxpayer money. Now they won't have to shoplift or rob to get money for their drugs or to buy a weapon.

NM just gets crazier and crazier!

Therefore, in NM there is a $24k/yr incentive for every juvenile to become a violent offender and get got, once. Much easier than finding and working at a job.

Not just crazy, all the way to insane.

On top of all the obvious reasons this is a really bad idea... what kind of message does this send to kids that behave, get good grades, have a job? No plan to pay them.

These teens will never get a $12 per hour (NM minimum wage) full-time job when they can get the same amount of money haded to them for doing nothing other than crime.

You know... I’d support it as long as they only commit violent crimes against Democrats. I mean, Democrats voted for this, so they should be okay with it too.

OK - scratching NM off my possible retirement residence list then.

Thanks for keeping us all updated about NM!
